Title:
  palimpsest cannot unmount partition in fstab

Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility

  When trying to unmount an internal partition, ie one defined in fstab,
  palimpsest reports something along the lines of:

  Error unmounting: umount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
  umount: only root can unmount UUID=b40a9324-52c8-4733-a460-ac5648da5d06 from /g

  I would expect palimpsest to trap this error and then prompt for admin
  privileges and to retry, in the same way it prompts for your password
  if you ask it to format a drive.
