Title:
Unhelpful error message when trying to unmount busy device
Status in Nautilus:
Expired
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
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.
