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.

Some process has its current working directory on the flash drive or
some application has a file on the flash drive open.
the process needs to change its current working directory off the drive
or the application needs to close the file.
