Bug Description

The problem is that disks-admin does not give me an error message when I try and unmount a partition, but fail. In this case, I failed because I was using a file on the partition. It would be nice if disks-admin would tell me the reason it failed to unmount the partition

This is the same screenshot that I used on bug #38032, but it shows the partition i wish to unmount, and the button I try and click to do so.

Changed bug description: the reason I couldn't unmount the partition was that it was in use.

Marking as invalid, as disks-admin was removed from gnome-system-tools in ubuntu a long time ago.
