At least the biggest issue is resolved, but I would guess the notifications should be fixed as well as you will have other users confused by this message.

That would be great. Please let me know if you see any of those crashes again.

The volume locking may not be resolvable easily, as it is a hardware issue. We found a possible scenario where we may be able to prevent some of these cases, but it is a lot of work and may quite take a while to implement our ideas.

Still getting the annoying volume disconnect notifications, but that's a minor annoyance.

Have you had a chance to test with 6.2.1 b8?

There is a chance it is fixing this issue, based on more Apple engineering feedback.

That error primarily comes up when you are ejecting the volume? normally we see it randomly, as it is a communication issue between the enclosure and computer.

Set the system (display) not to sleep and uncheck put drives to sleep. See if that helps.

Progress!

I am seeing this come up again, ejecting with the tool or manually:
