[Bug 562188] Re: Cannot unmount USB flash drive because volume is busy

 

To reproduce, try to load an external drive with plenty of stuff. I had
the error with around 130 GB stuff each of the sizes 13 - 15 GB. Put the
stuff in the Rubbish Bin and ask to delete it. Go to a folder in the
external drive and look in the bottom, where the free space is show in
figures. Update the window with intervals of seconds and you will see
how the free space slow grows by 1 - 2 GB per two or tree seconds. Some
time you will end up with all the free space, but it takes time.

Title:
  Cannot unmount USB flash drive because volume is busy

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  When I select Eject or Safely Remove Drive from the context menu of a
  mounted USB flash drive, Nautilus says "One or more applications are
  keeping the volume busy". The only listed application in the presented
  list is Nautilus itself (at the root folder).

  lsof | grep media/1CAC-FFC3 says:

  "nautilus  2059     oswald   40u      REG       8,33        0
  380 /media/1CAC-FFC3/.Trash-1000/info/[FILENAME].trashinfo.2NYEBV
  (deleted)"

  where [FILENAME] is the name of a file that I have moved to Trash (the
  Trash is now empty).

  ls  /media/1CAC-FFC3/.Trash-1000/info/[FILENAME].trashinfo.2NYEBV says:
  "ls: cannot access /media/1CAC-FFC3/.Trash-1000/info/[FILENAME].trashinfo.2NYEBV: No such file or directory"
