Public bug reported:
This annoying thing happens when I connect a USB drive with a lot of
media content and then shortly try to "safely remove" the device.
Step to reproduce:
1) Connect a USB drive with a lot of media content (not sure if a lot of media
is really needed, but I'm not going to delete stuff from my disk to test)
2) From Nautilus right-click the device icon and choose "safely remove the
device"
3) Observe that a dialog opens saying that "Volume is busy"
4) Click "Eject Anyway"
5) Observe an error dialog saying something like "Unable to stop "WDC
WD10JPVX-22JC3T0"
So did it fail or what? Is this good or bad? Will I corrupt my data if I
just disconnect it after possibly copying some files? This is not good
usability, at least.
What should happen:
- The device should get disconnected without errors. If not right after safely
removing, but after having clicked "Eject Anyway".
