Bug Description

Whenever I right click on a partition in gparted, and then select unmount, gparted acts like it is unmounting it, but after a couple of seconds it just goes back to normal and the partition is still mounted. It gives no errors.

If the file system is active (a process if running from the directory, or you have a window opened in the directory), then the partition cannot be unmounted.

Was this the case that you had something on the partition open? Can you reproduce this?
