Maybe a general dialog would be better like "Ejecting a disc Please do not remove the device while the operation is in progress since there might be pending writes."
This would not fix the problem but be more accurate in all situations -- Ejecting a CD/DVD gives "Writing data to storage device" msg https://launchpad.net/bugs/34274 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
