Couldn't eject external drive
#1
because "System Administrator is using it."

iMac, OS 10.9.

Closed all programs, same result—system admin using it.

Next-to-last resort: told it to restart. Still nothing.

Held down power button to shut it down.

It restarted OK, & ext drive appeared on desktop. Ext drive then could be ejected.

What's the business about "System Administrator is using it," and what's a good way to get around it?
