Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-mount
When ejecting a USB harddrive from the context menu of its icon, the icon immediately disappears from the desktop, suggesting that the umount was successful. However, very often there is still data written onto the drive. So when the harddrive is unplugged or turned down, some data is lost and the partition dirty.
In edgy, there was a dialog visible until the drive was synced. This is missing in feisty, resulting in possible dataloss.
