Unable to Unmount Flash Drive



Hello -

I'm getting the following error message every time I attempt to unmount my
USB flash drive.

Error

Cannot unmount volume

The volume was probably mounted manually on the command line.

Details

Device to unmount is not in /media/.hal-mtab so it is not mounted by HAL

Contrary to the message, I didn't mount it manually on the command line.
It's been occurring now about a week. Previously, there was no problem. I
guess it's not a big issue just pulling it out, but I'd rather do it the
proper way. Since it began, I've been going to Administration > Disk and
simply disabling it.
