Bug Description

When I plug in my iPod, I get it on my desktop with a cool icon. But when I
right click to unmount it, it does not work. Tells me "cannot unmount" and takes
the icon away. Very frustrating. Especially because iPod says "do not disconnect."

I have the same problem.

My error message is:

"eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument"

Hope this helps. I'm working on a script to work around it. If I run "sudo
eject /media/ipod/" it works.

Ciao,

Dan

PS Any chance I'll get notified of updates on this?
