Search for open files on file system mount points on subdirectories of D unless the -x or -x f option is also specified. Processing of the +D option does not follow symbolic links within D unless the -x or -x l option is also specified. +D D causes lsof to search for all open instances of directory D and all the files and directories it contains to its complete depth. The seeming to hang is likely due to a large number of files on the drive, according to the OSX manual page for lsof: You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.ġ3 Responses to “Find out which application is using external hard drive in order to eject it”

Update: So it seems sometimes lsof will just hang… I don’t know what to do in this case, hopefully I will update again with further solutions. You can always run the lsof command again to see if the process really died. You might get errors in which case for each PID try the following until you don’t get an error. For each of the other processes (line items) you want to issue the kill command followed by that process’s PID. Try to quit any applications you recognize the normal way. They must be killed (quit) before you eject it safely. These are the applications/processes that are using your hard drive. Preview 638 ajx cwd DIR 14,107 /Volumes/path/to/file/in/use You should get a list that looks something like this:ĬOMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAMEīash 637 ajx cwd DIR 14,107 /Volumes/path/to/file/in/use Enter the following replacing with the name of your hard drive: Open up the program called Terminal.app (located in Applications/Utilities). I hopelessly try to kill applications by force quitting or even using activity monitor to zap processes. \ Try quitting applications and try again.” Only mac won’t tell me which applications are using this drive. When using the Mac OS X UI to eject an external hard drive, I occasionally get this error: ‘The disk “” is in use and could not be ejected.
