Ditto above. I unmounted a volume on an external USB Western Digital Passport 320Gig drive, when I had not even done anything with the volume between mounting it and trying to unmount it. The volume was the first of three partitions on the drive, all FAT32 formatted (because they need to interface also with a computer running XP). Following the error, I was able to unmount the remaining two partitions successfully.

Actually, Tracker will index removable media by default, you have to disable it if you don't want that.

This crash is possibly related to Tracker and the pre-umount signal from GVFS. This was not implemented in GVFS until recently (last few weeks) and we implemented it and the Tracker solution to remove items from the indexer's queue and stop any extraction going on for a file on a removable media.

This should be fixed using the latest and greatest of GVFS and Tracker. Tracker 0.6.92 should have the initial code there for that and there have been some improvements in TRUNK since, but I think we are waiting for a newer GVFS for this.

not sure if bug #354236 and all the duplicates are due to that but if that's the case we might want to consider backporting the change, ccing chrisccoulson who might want to have a look to that ;-)
