Description

I'm on MacOS Big sur.
When flashing is finished I have a message saying that device RPI-RP2 must be ejected before disconnecting.
I have seen that a filesystem named RPI-RP2 is mounted during flashing.
I think it needs to be unmounted when flashing is finished.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing a flash on macOS Big Sur and trace the flashing entry point that mounts RPI-RP2; inspect how completion is handled. Done means the RPI-RP2 filesystem is unmounted after flashing so the device can be disconnected without the eject warning.
