The problems I experience without falling back to polling aren't related to unmount blockage. A few Gnome bits watch this directory (via gamin, fam) for new devices. In particular, drivemount-applet and nautilus show new devices as they are discovered in /media. This now works with gamin and dnotify. However, it still fails to work as expected using inotify. As no one here has an immediate clue, I intend to look at the dnotify vs. inotify code and see if perhaps the polling fallback for /media/* and /mnt/* was not copied to the inotify backend.
