One of my external drives is set to dismount on sleep via the Mountain app. One of the partitions refuses to dismount saying its in use by 1Password mini. Can you help?
Cheers...

    That strongly suggests that you have run into the known issue where the wrong copy of 1PW Mini is launched, but it doesn't happen to have caused any problems, which it often can. Unfortunately that issue is caused by a bug in Apple's launchd process, which so far they haven't done anything about.

    I would suggest the following.

    1. Quit 1PW and 1PW Mini

    2. Trash the copies of 1PW on all external drives (DO NOT use any app cleaner) and empty the trash.

    3. Run 1PW. You can quit it if you like, as 1PW mini will continue running.

    4. The external copies may have come from a Time Machine backup or from a clone process such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. It is easy to exclude 1PW from being copied.

    @tonyt: Indeed, and if you're still stuck with 1Password (or any app) in memory preventing it from ejecting, restarting your Mac will resolve that. Cheers! :)
