Q: Yosemite ejects external drives
I downloaded and installed Yosemite yesterday. Now whenever the iMac sleeps, the OS keeps ejecting my external drives and then gives me DOZENS of "improperly ejected disk" errors. It then freezes the system and the ONLY way I can get out is to power it down manually. It appears that Apple may have hired some windoze programmers on this one. Any suggestions?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

EUREKA! Turn off Spotlight! Apparently, Spotlight must hammer the external drive and cause all kinds of problems. I turned off Spotlight for the external drive (added to the Privacy tab) and just transferred 34GB no problem.
