I don't fucking know why I can't eject USB hard drives. I installed the SysInternals apps, and best they can tell me is that Dropbox is fucking with the drives. I explicitly told Dropbox to not fuck with USB drives. I don't know who's lying, I just want whoever is fucking with the drives to stop fucking with the drives, OK??? OK.

Actually had this occur on a USB NTFS drive I haven't migrated the data to another fs from yet. It mounts at boot so my whole system got hung up until I removed it from the fstab and installed the tools to scan and fix the ntfs filesystem from the aur.

Was like a 20 minute fix, including time to research the tools I needed to fix it.
