You have been subscribed to a public bug:
If you try to unmount a busy device you will get an error message. However,
that error message is completely useless to people without a specific
knowledge, i.e. knowing how to use the 'lsof' command.
Ideally a dialogue would show up showing what processes are preventing you from
unmounting it, including a "Force" button and PolicyKit integration.
However, this is a bit of work, so a temporary solution could be to make
the error message clearer, e.g. "The device you're trying to unmount is
currently still in use by one or more applications. Please close those
first."
The original description stated that the error message mentioned above
is only triggered when there has been data written.
