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 don't get the error message when unmounting cd's, dvd's, flashdrives and usbsticks by right-clicking the icons on the desktop. Funny thing is that this problem first occurred since I did a fresh reinstall of Feisty. Until the day before yesterday I ran Feisty from an upgraded Edgy install and I didn't have this problem. -- 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 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
