Being told USB wasn't ejected after ejecting and taking USB out

[Ethan_Pixelate]

Hello, i have a raspberry pi 3B+ running Rasbian Buster.

I am working on a project that i store on my usb but whenever i need to take it out it out of the pi, i eject and then pull it out as fast as humanly possible. However, no matter how fast out pull out the usb, it will tell me "USB was disconnected without ejecting", even after i JUST ejected it. And its becoming pretty bad for me as a file called game.lua keeps becoming corrupted i have to re-save it on the pi, hoping to god that i didnt close geany. Could anybody please help? This is really starting to make my head explode .

Doing it fast won't help. To eject, click the eject button on the taskbar (panel), select the device you want to eject, then WAIT until you see this pop up:

Code: Select all

Device has been ejected.
It is now safe to remove the device.

NOW the usb drive has been ejected and NOW you can unplug it.

The reasoning behind that advice:

When you tell the Pi (or any other computer) to "eject" a device, it tells the device to clean itself up, stop its housekeeping, and get ready for power-down.
Some of these things can take ages to sort themselves out - like a child getting ready for bed.

But i do wait for it to tell me that i can remove the usb.

However few days later and ive found out that its just the usb that has become horrifyingly corrupt, it even locked itself up as read-only , so now ive copied everything important to another usb and everything seems to be in working order now, thanks for the help though .
