I can confirm the above problem on the release version of Ubuntu 7.04
with a 250 GB external Western Digital hard drive. I don't get the
problem with my 128 MB flash drive or my card reader, but when I try to
unmount the external HDD (even if nothing is using it), I get the
message "Cannot eject volume" and the volume immediately re-mounts
again.
sudo eject "My Book" (as that is the name that comes up for the device)
still works.
The workaround provided by Martin Pitt allows the volume to umount
again, but I do not hear the audible "click" of the drive (which I
assume is the HDD heads parking) that I did with Edgy and previous
versions. So, while the workaround lets me unmount the drive again, it
does not seem to unmount as "cleanly" as it did in Edgy and earlier.
The device does unmount though, because it no longer appears in the list
provided by the mount command.
As with Martin Pitt's suggestion (moving the file somewhere else),
restoring the Edgy version of the
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-storage-policy.fdi file (which
contained many more lines than the Feisty version does) also has the
same effect, but, as I said, the unmounting behaviour does not seem as
clean as it did in Edgy.
Just to reiterate that this problem has only appeared for me in Feisty;
in both Dapper and Edgy I don't have the issue.
