unmounting an in-use removable storage shows three messages (one of which is empty)

[John Dong]

Binary package hint: gnome-mount

I accidentally attempted to unmount my iPod while an app was using it in Feisty, and got:

* Popup Error Dialog: An application is preventing the volume 'IPOD' from being unmounted.
* P E D: An application is preventing the volume 'IPOD' from being ejected.
* P E D: No caption, just an Error icon and an OK button.

This is absurd behavior and should be streamlined into something more friendly, like a single libnotify popup or even a single error box.

This does not only affect Ipods, it applies to any removable storage and any application using data on that device when you try to eject/unmount it. This is probably a duplicate of some other bug but as it happens on my system (thats why i'm here) I can confirm that it is the case.

This bug seems to have regressed; I am experiencing it in up-to-date Gutsy
again.

I can also confirm this bug.

I think the empty dialog box is the worst.

I am fairly surprised that this bug appears to have received zero attention..

noone seems to care...
