Unmounting media gives no error when failed

I think this bug was fixed a couple of days ago, might have regressed.

Hm, how can this be tested? Why would unmounting fail?

hmm, I think you can 'cd' into the drive and then try to unmount it

I just tried this only happens when you click on 'Safely Remove' if you click the 'eject' item a dialog appears to tell you that the device is busy. This can be considered a papercut I guess.

also un-duplicating as I think this was set to duplicate by mistake.

The 'eject' problem is solved since unity 3.6.2 (see bug# 730638). When using 'safely remove' no feedback is given.
