Ok, no problem

twice out of 3

Yes, it's a common usage, but I sometimes mount it by the hand (using
command line), and it still happens that way. In fact, it always happens
when nautilus is open, and the floppy (for example) is shown in the
lateral tree bar.

Your right ! It seems to be the good place to look. I reconfigured fam
as standalone, and it now works (i tried several "umount"). I think it
should be considered as a bug, even if this solution can be considered
as a solution.

Yes, it's a i386, and it happens on 3 different boxes, all under
up-to-date unstable.
