I frequently copy files (Size about 2GB, sometimes 50 files of this size in one copying process) from my internal laptop disk (Win8.1) to an external media, usb flash drive or external disk. The copying progress is schown in the right upper corner of the display. When the display shows "copying is finished", the copying process is not really finished, it takes some additional minutes, before I can eject the external media. This appears in F24/F25/F26. This is confusing.
This is standard behaviour on all current operating systems. That is why they all have the "eject" button for unmounting external media. The reason is that the operating system buffers the data in memory and then writes it to the device as fast as the device can accept it. This lets whatever process is doing the writing to get on with other things instead of having to wait for slow media. The unmount command waits for all the cached data to be written to the device before unmounting. Then you get a notification saying that you can remove it.
