Running Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 on an Intel Celeron system.  After using my
zip disk for read only, when I eject it with Eject command on right-
click menu over zip icon, the disk ejects but then an error message
appears in lower right of desktop.  It says that the system is writing
(flush the write buffer) onto the disk and that I shouldn't remove the
disk, but it already popped out of the drive.   Soon another message
pops up in the center of desktop saying that it can't eject the volume
(but it already has done it).     This is an internal atapi Iomega Zip
100 drive.  I haven't tested the eject after writing to the zip disk
yet.

First question that comes to mind is why does the system think it needs
to flush the write buffer onto the disk when it only has done reads.
Maybe it's updating a "touched" date on the disk?  Or maybe this is
simply a bug.

Second, the eject actually occurs before the system realizes it needs to
do the write.  This is a bug.
