STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. connect a storage device to usb port (I used a pen drive formatted with fat32 file system)
2. open dolphin and start to copy a big file (~2 GiB) to your device
3. cancel the file operation via the notification applet in systray
4. right click on your device in places panel under "Removable devices"
and select "Safely remove"

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin prevents unmounting and shows the error message
"The device is currently busy...".
See the attached screenshot.
Such situation persists for several minutes.

EXPECTED RESULT
Device should be unmounted without any error.

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2019-04-23 17:26:03 UTC 
IIRC this is happening because the file transfer is still technically not finished yet (I think it has to finalize or sync or something) even though the file transfer's progress makes it seem finished.

I agree that it's not really an amazing user experience.
Comment 2 Ahmad Samir 2019-09-24 11:31:29 UTC 
The error comes from udisks, the device is busy until the filesystems finish syncing.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2019-09-24 16:26:12 UTC 
Maybe we just need to display a better error message here so the user knows why the device is busy.
