OSFMount.sys file open even after Dismounting

[AFerns]

I am trying out OSFMount for RAM drive. Mounting happens fine but Dismounting does not work with -d -m W:

Notifying applications...
Flushing file buffers...
Locking volume...
W: Access is denied.

works with -D -m -W:

Notifying applications...
Flushing file buffers...
Locking volume...
Failed, forcing dismount..
Removing device...
Removing mountpoint...
Done.

That is why there is two options, -d and -D

-d Dismount a virtual disk. -D Force dismount a virtual disk.

If the drive is in use by some other application, a regular dismount (-d) won't work. And there is a lot of software that can inadvertently cause a drive to be in use. Just having Windows Explorer open if often enough. In that case -D is required.

There is the same problem with doing a "safe remove" on a USB drive. A lot of the time safe removal isn't possible and you have to force it by physical removal of the drive.

Got it. Thanks.
