[QUOTE="ferrarr, post: 1932517, member: 376394"] You may be able to log out of your user account, then disconnect the drive and log back in after. But that's a lot more effort. I believe if you don't want the external drive indexed for Spotlight, you can remove the drive from the process. In System Settings go to Siri & Spotlight. At the bottom click on the Spotlight Privacy button. Click the add button (+) and select your drive you are using for your Photos library. I don't know if this will help with the Force Eject issue you have been experiencing, but it will definitely stop the indexing of your photo database. [/QUOTE]
