Bug Description

hi,

While I try to unmount (gnome eject) my removable hard disk (usb interface), I got that message and after it automatically remount the device.

English :
Writing data to device
There is a data needs to be written to the device <devicename> before it can be removed. Please do not remove the media or disconnect the drive.

French :
Ecriture des données sur le périphérique
Il existe des données à inscrire sur le périphérique <devicename> avant de le retirer. Veuillez ne pas retirer ni déconnecter le disque

There are several persons that have the same problem in Feisty with different file system too.
Here the syslog under ubuntu Feisty (device open at 09:56:17, eject at 09:58:34 and thats all !) :

additional informations :
-------------------------------
Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04
Gnome version 2.18.1

The following command :
sudo gnome-mount --eject /media/disk
report "gnome-mount 0.5" but the device is not unmounted.

I also tried with the Firewire interface (my device support both USB and Firewire) and it can't unmount too.
This bug has been reported here too http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431991
