I have the same problem with mounting and umounting my Lacie drive. This is not a bug fix but a compromise I found.
I tried messing with my /etc/fstab file and was unsuccessful. I found, however, that my /etc/mtab file recognized my drive as /dev/sdb1 which I was able to painfully unmount with sudo umount /dev/sdb1 Since I dont want want to write that command all the time I added the line alias unlacie='sudo umount /dev/sdb1/' to my .bashrc file so that I may unmount it with unlacie and my password. Not the nicest solution but at least it seems to be a clean unmounting. -- Cannot unmount volume: not very helpful error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/81239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-volume-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
