When trying to eject a USB camera in thunar in xfce4, the error appears and the device does not umount. Here is a command that also produces the error: # udisks --detach /dev/sdb Detach failed: Error detaching: helper exited with exit code 1: Detaching device /dev/sdb USB device: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-6) SYNCHRONIZE CACHE: FAILED: No such file or directory (Continuing despite SYNCHRONIZE CACHE failure.)

I get the following: # equery depends udisks * These packages depend on udisks: gnome-base/gvfs-1.12.3-r1 (udisks ? >=sys-fs/udisks-1.90:2) gnome-base/libgdu-3.0.2 (=sys-fs/udisks-1.0*:0) # emerge -pv gvfs libgdu [ebuild R ] gnome-base/libgdu-3.0.2 USE="-avahi -doc -gnome-keyring" 0 kB [ebuild R ] gnome-base/gvfs-1.12.3-r1 USE="cdda gdu http udev -afp -archive -avahi -bluetooth -bluray -doc -fuse -gnome-keyring -gphoto2 -ios -samba (-udisks)" 0 kB - Grant
