Then that supports my suggestion. Unless the the flash drive is
mounted with the "sync" option, the data is copied into the cache and
the copy command exits. The data is being written in the background,
but when you want to unmount the drive, it has to wait until all the
data is finished writing. To verify this, try running "sync" after
doing the copy. That should take the same time to exit and then the
unmount should be immediate.

I should have mentioned, I always type sync before going to the desktop
icon and unmount. Before this problem started things worked differently,
but it's been a long time, as I said I just put up with it, I expect
Fedora 28 will do the same in my system ...
