I am having almost the same problem. When I (in gnome, via right click on the desktop icon) unmounts/ejects the drive a message pops up telling me the eject failed, and then the drive is remounted. I Have a Western Digital 250gb MyBook Essensial.
I have been running Feisty since early alpha and this behavior is quite new 1-2 weeks old or so. i.e. Earlier alpha versions of Feisty did not have this bug thus working as expected. -- Unmounting external hd doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
