Environment: Bookworm 64 bit, Pi4 4GB, boot from USB HDD, using external SD reader/writer.
I recently went through a bunch of SD and uSD cards to erase them.
So, I fired up Imager, selected 'Erase' as the OS, and the relevant device (which wasn't already mounted, as shown by 'df' and 'mount').
Confirmed the erase operation, and the 'safe to remove' appeared, at which point I clicked 'Continue'.
Being the cautious type, I didn't immediately remove the SD card, but instead ran 'df' and 'mount' again.
Surprisingly, the relevant volume (in my case /dev/sdb1) was showing as being mounted. On the plus side, it was showing as a vfat filesystem with the right amount of free space to match the approximate side of the SD card.
Is it supposed to be doing that? I would have assumed that it should be unmounted by the time the 'safe to remove' appeared.
Neither dmesg or journalctl show any problems.
I have turned off auto-mount in File Manager, so it isn't that causing the mount .
