In case it helps: I have the same issue where umounting (or ejecting) a
USB drive from the
"filesystem" GUI takes a very long time. Actually, it seems to kill the
WM which then
restarts after a while.
This is the case even when very little was written to the drive.
I am of f26, using XFCE.
I have seen the same behavior under F27 and F28 using Xfce and USB
drives (the desktop freezes until the drive gets ejected--a manual
umount as root from the CLI completes immediately).
I don't believe it to be a filesystem or hardware issue--it seems to be
something with the desktop and file manager. I had intended to test it
with KDE on the same platform but haven't had a chance to get to it.
