I had to wait until I was doing backups again to try anything.  The 6TB
drive did fine.  The 8TB drive is giving the in use error.  The drive is
unmounted but iotop didn't show anything and the light isn't blinking
either.  I'd think if it was flushing cache the light would flash and it
would not umount. 

I tried the udev-trigger trick but it didn't work.  I don't know how
long it will stay 'in use' so if anyone has ideas, think and type fast. 
If not, may have to wait until next time to try again.
