Eject all not working

Open dyfer opened this issue 10 years ago • 9 comments

Hello Kevin,

Thanks for a great piece of software!

I was using Semulov for a while and after I updated to 2.1.1 (or around that time?) , the eject all function stopped working (both menu and keyboard shortcut) - it just doesn't do anything. I can still eject individual drives using Semulov. I'm on Yosemite 10.10.5. Can I do something to investigate that?

Thanks! Marcin

Does anything show up in the Console app from Semulov when you choose Eject All?

Thank you for your answer! Since the time I posted I also noted it's not consistent - sometimes Eject All would actually work.

Now one of the drives it never works for is a WD drive that also has a "virtual CD" that mounts automatically. If I don't place that CD drive under ignored volumes, Semulov prints in the Console

11/13/15 11:40:23.742 AM Semulov[11852]: Can't get disk for volume: /Volumes/WD SmartWare

when trying to Eject All.

For one other drive I don't get any posting and Eject All doesn't seem to do anything. But I believe it happen once recently that for yet another drive it worked somehow...

I'm seeing the same thing with 2.3.1 on High Sierra. I have a WD Passport drive with two partitions for Time Machine and external files (both encrypted). I an eject individually but not all. Nothing in the Console for semulov with Eject All.

If this is reproducible with the latest 2.6 please let me know and I can reopen.

I can still see this behavior under version 2.6 with that one WD volume that has a "virtual CD" - Eject All wouldn't eject its data partition (nor the virtual CD, though that's not needed), but I can still eject it individually from Semulov.

Can confirm this issue on macOS Monterey 12.1 on my Intel MacbookAir 2019. I usually have 3 external HDDs connected over my USB-C docking station. "Eject All" disconnects only one of them most of the time, sometimes two. Umounting a single drive also needs multiple attempts every now and then. It works much more reliable in Finder.

I now experienced this on a new system (macOS 12.2), in a slightly different drive layout:

  • external drive has two volumes
  • the first volume is used for data
  • the second volume is used for time machine backup

The time machine backup volume is not being ejected with eject all (but the data volume is being ejected). Additionally I get a message "Failed to unmount volume <first volume's name>", but the first volume is being in fact unmounted. It's the second (time machine) volume that does not unmont.

@dyfer I have the same issue but the reverse. My time machine backup will eject (first one listed) but not my other data drive. I have to do them individually which defeats the purpose.

I have the same issue with Monterey 12.5 on M1 Mac Mini. Eject All only ejects one drive. I have 3 drives and it is the same drive ejected every time regardless of the order I mount them to begin with. In addition continuing to click Eject All does not eject the remaining drives.
