Hello Jonas

That's possible.
But this behaviour only appears with encrypted storage devices.
With unencrypted storage devices, this behaviour is not shown.

> Do you still discover this issue with recent Debian?
This behaviour appears with actual Debian sid.

> usb-storage) disappear after some time?
I'll investigate this next time.

I'll investigate this next time.
With XFCE4 in squeeze, this behaviour is not shown --> OK.
With XFCE4 in sid, this behaviour is shown --> UNMOUNTING FAILED.
Mounting and unmounting of storage devices is switched from HAL to UDEV
in XFCE4.
Is this the reason of failed unmounting?
Gnome uses UDEV, too.

Best regards
Bernhard
