I am having this bug on Xubuntu 14.10 (Thunar 1.6.3) when trying to unmount a USB 3.0 Seagate 1TB HDD from a USB 3.0 port. I also experience one second off and remounting after that. I don't have this bug when using USB 2.0 pendrive in USB 3.0 port.

I have noticed that similar already happened with a very old Ubuntu version - Bug #110589 and as that is so long time ago I thought it is better to open a new bug. Reason of the problem might even be completely different.
