As far as I can tell, the prompt returns after the transfer has
finished, but of course the exact meaning of "finished" is not entirely
clear. It seems to mean at least that the bits have been sent over the
wire, which is good enough in this use case.

I'll try mounting as sync and see if it makes a difference. However even
if that "solves" the issue, I would still prefer to see something
meaningful in the pop-up in the async case. Maybe it's too hard to
achieve.
