The bug being reported is about not being able to 'eject' the USB hard drive from the File Browser. I included the mount error messages incase they were helpful. For now I'm not trying to force an umount on the drive. I've attached the syslog showing the mount of BIG4CGB, the umount of the USB flash drive CORSAIR and the subsequent "hang" when umounting BIG4CGB. The 'READ CAPACITY failed.' and associated log messages repeat in the syslog until I terminate the system.
Messages from today's syslog when I tried to 'eject' the BIG4CGB drive.
