The key takeaway, especially for the author who wants things to "just work", is that he should have used a USB external disk, instead of a Thunderbolt external disk. OSes tend to have more issues with Thunderbolt disks (such as this issue you explained in details) than with USB disks, because the latter is more common, so more corner case bugs have been eliminated.
