Safe Remove USB drive not working in Xubuntu 12.04
Whenever I try Safe Remove/Eject Volume option for removing USB drive in the Thunar file manager, the drive is still mounted.
Sometimes very rarely, the USB drive gets unmounted properly. Is there a way to make this work properly. |
Boot to live cd of xbuntu and see if it works.

Try to umount the device by this terminal command:
sudo umount /media/point-of-mount obviously, you need replace "point-of-mount" with the real mount point assigned to your USBDrive. |
Code:
lsof | grep mountpoint |
Sorry for the late response. I was on vacation.
When mounted my drive, here are the details. df Quote:

But the entries for the USB mount points are not there in the outputs of /proc/mounts,/etc/mtab and df once "Eject Volume" is selected. However the USB is still mounted and the USB light is on. |
