Stavros:

I can recreate the bug so I am marking it confirmed. You should still post the required information listed in my previous post.

The bug is reproducible by opening a streaming file (such as music or a video) on a samba share then attempting to unmount the share while the file is still open. I had to right-click on the share icon found on the desktop and click 'unmount' 2 or 3 times and the error message appeared after 60-120 seconds.

The error message is simply saying "we attempted to unmount but the server is not allowing us to close the connection". My personal solution would be to find the thread holding the file open and terminate it but that could have many unintended consequences if this process were automated.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
