Tons of disk not ejected properly notifications after wake, how to fix?
“I am getting tons of (about a hundred) “Disk Not Ejected Properly” notifications/messages for two external hard drives (one drive has one partition, the other has two partitions). I'm running Mojave 10.14.4. I never had these issues when these two drives were connected to a MacBook also running 10.14.4. But, now I have them connected to an iMac and these messages have been displaying recently the past day. Had not happened for about a week's worth of use prior to yesterday. The disks still seem to be working fine but for some reason it's worrisome to me.”
