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.
Just tested with KDE on the same system (logged out of Xfce and fired up
Plasma/KDE) and this issue seems to be isolated to Xfce/Thunar. Ejecting
a USB drive under KDE was instaneous. Under Xfce, desktop froze (well,
I can switch desktops) after selecting "Unmount" from the desktop.
