mark4567 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Since I upgraded to R8 on Mac OS 10.5.7, my external back drives (LaCie Big Disk Triple interface) won't eject, even after I quit Retrospect 8. I get the error message "The volume could not be ejected because it is currently in use." Any ideas / help out there? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 even after I quit Retrospect 8. Exactly what do you mean by this statement? Do you mean that you are quitting the Retrospect 8 console, the Retrospect 8 engine, both, or what? If you are quitting the engine, how are you doing that? What do you have Retrospect 8 storing / using on that external drive? (sources? destinations?) What type of media sets are you using? What type of backup scripts are you using? (proactive? scheduled?) Is grooming enabled? The Terminal command "lsof" (without the quotes) will show you what program has files open on that volume. Look there, report back.

mark4567 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I actually discovered the fix. I simply ejected the drive via Apple's Disk Utility. Not sure what the problem was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
