That's a lot of effort.  It's annoying it doesn't close like it should
but doing all that would be a tedious task as well.  It would eliminate
a lot of potential causes tho.  Thing is, I think it's a software issue
not hardware. 

To add to this, the 6TB drive just did the same thing.  I had been using
UUID to mount it since it was working.  After getting the same problem
as the other drive, I changed it.  It took some effort to get it to
close but restarting lvm and friends did eventually get it to close.  I
then changed it to mount by label like I been doing with the 8TB drive. 

I think by just continuing to note what it is doing, eventually the
problem will show itself.  Personally, I sort of wonder if it is a udev
problem or lvm.  Thing is, a lot of this software works together so
closely, it's hard to know where one stops and the other starts. 

I finished my backups to the 8TB drive and it worked start to finish
with no errors at all.  I guess we'll see what happens next week with
the 6TB drive.  See if it starts to work again with no problem or still
has issues of some kind.  So far, mounting by label seems to have worked
well for the 8TB drive. 

Will update again as things move along.
