2.3 Troubleshooting
Why won’t my volume unmount?
· A volume will not unmount if an application is still using the volume:
· If you use Force Unmount to unmount a volume and receive a message that it has failed, shut down your machine, disconnect the dock, and restart your machine.
· WARNING
: If you force unmount a volume with files still in use, the volume can be corrupted and data loss could occur.
· If no application name is displayed in the dialog box, most likely there is a background process using the volume. Examples for macOS include but are not limited to things like Spotlight updating the volume index, or Time Machine creating a backup. For these scenarios, wait 60 seconds and then try to eject the volume again. If you receive the same message, save any open work, shut down the host computer, disconnect the dock, and then restart the host.
· In some macOS scenarios, the process holding things up might be related to the Finder app. In that case make sure the volume in question is not selected in the Finder Sidebar or otherwise displayed in the Finder window, then try again to eject the volume.
Why is the USB charge support driver disabled with version 2.0.2?
· The current version of OWC Dock Ejector (version 2.0.2) has the USB charge support driver disabled. Users can not charge or bus power devices over external powered USB ports at high power. Users should roll back OWC Dock Ejector by uninstalling version 2.0.2 and
