hi,

While I try to umount my removable hard disk (usb interface), I got that message and after it automatically remount the device.

English :
Writing data to device
There is a data needs to be written to the device <devicename> before it can be removed. Please do not remove the media or disconnect the drive.

French :
Ecriture des données sur le périphérique
Il existe des données à inscrire sur le périphérique <devicename> avant de le retirer. Veuillez ne pas retirer ni déconnecter le disque

There are several persons that have the same problem in Feisty with different file system too.
