I've seen Usb's not wanting to unmount/eject. Not seen the error message
- however

I've seen issues with partitions not wanting to unmount.

Further to this bug report - I checked another filemanager (pcmanfm) I
found that to just close - not good. Someone from Lubuntu is looking at
that - they were seeing very slow action after unmounting.

If that is the case - the bug is maybe somewhere else (gvfs perhaps)

I've got backtrace and strace ready for 'this' bug, got the same for
pcmanfm.

Spoken to one if the Xubuntu dev's re this bug.
