What would be nice here is that gnome-volume-manager allows you to kill
the application in case it does so, or at least to tell which app is
involved. But the file manager hasn't to check what the helper
applications do, since as a general rule they should not block things
silently.

By using nasos method, I identified ghostscript to be the process which is
blocking my memory stick.
in the root directory of the stick were indeed some .ps files which could not
be opened by ghostscript.
Tests with moving the files brought me to a theory:
After plugging in the memory stick, the
I have the same problem. But unfortunately couldn't umount my usb either
with umount
In my case the problem is Beagle. That for some reason runs on the
devices. Here is what works for me:
This will list all processes running on usbdisk:
sudo lsof | grep /media/usbdisk

Confirming this on Feisty with one of my USB drives. I have another

I have a similar problem when plugging in my mobile (Sony Ericsson
k750i). It has a memory stick inside which gets handled as an USB
device. Everything works perfectly except when running Rhyhtmbox: In
that case I cannot unmount the device. So I guess, at least in my case,
it is a Rhythmbox
I have the same problem with both of my USB drives.

I have a similar problem. When trying to disconnect/unmount my usb hard
drive (Samsung SpinPoint) by right-clicking the icon on the desktop, I
get the 'cannot eject volume' error message and the drive reopens.
The only way to unmount the volume for me is using the console:
sudo umount /media/disk
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
Same exact problem for me too; so very incredibly annoying that I often
try to avoid using my external usb hard drive. It often spins down when
its not being used and when I try to use it again, I get IO errors,
device busy, and so forth. The only way to fix the problem is to umount
and mount
Confirmed here too (Linux 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31
UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux)

I confirm the same problem in my asus 8jc. I have 2 external USB disks
connected, I receive this not-very-helpful message when I try to unmount.
Even if I close all applications, same message appears.
Trying from the terminal gives me:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo umount /media/LaCie/
umount:
Same problem here.
when I attach usb cable, it mounts automatically all partitions I have in. (3)
Just after this, when I try to unmount one of them something prevents me from
unmounting it with error message.
Go further, when I try to unmount, the icons disappear, I get the error
message
Just one thing.
Just mounting and unmounting give me only this simple error message Cannot
unmount volume.
Once I copied files from usb disk and internal hd (I don't remember I did
anything else) and when I unmounted each partition of usb hd I got this error
message Cannot unmount volume
an
It can be related to this bug #107963
I forgot before to say sometimes I get the same message as the bug
above.
