Safely remove drive fails to unmount if data was written to drive.
(safely unmounts if no data is written to drive)

There is a popup with the animated writing to disk. When that completes, there is a new popup with:
Unable to stop drive
Failed to eject media; one or more volumes on the media are busy.

The drive is not unmounted and still shows up as sdc1
