Description Trenton D. Adams 2009-12-05 19:20:26 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
Compiler:          gcc (Gentoo 4.3.4 p1.0, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.4 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I have seen this many times over the last few months.  I use Dolphin to copy files from my computer to a FAT32 flash usb stick.  When it is done, it refuses to unmount, saying the device is busy.

blah-blah are the files I copied
tdanotebook ~ # lsof /media/disk/
COMMAND     PID   USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE  SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
kio_thumb 21275 trenta   13r   REG   8,33 734013440  413 /media/disk/blah-blah
kio_thumb 21275 trenta   15r   REG   8,33 728512512  378 /media/disk/blah-blah

The only way to fix it is to wait a really long time, or kill kio_thumb.

The drive is finished writing, as it no longer flashes the light.

I don't think this is a dolphin problem, but a KDE subsystem problem.

Like bug #170290 where kio_thumb blocks the umount action.
Comment 2 Trenton D. Adams 2009-12-05 22:02:43 UTC 
Yes, that is it.  It never came up in my searches because they used the word "removed" rather than "unmount".
