Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

I'm guessing due to the fix for bug #34274, unmount dialogs on CD/DVD
media were suppressed.

However, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM are both random-access devices, and it is
becoming a more common use case to format those media with either udf
via udftools or vfat or ext2 and use them as general-purpose rewritable
media.

In these cases, ejecting the medium from Nautilus or the panel icon does
not trigger an unmount progress dialog, but instead data is being
written in the background.


This isn't too bad as far as data loss is concerned, because the CD tray is still locked before all the writing is complete, but is unpleasant from the UI standpoint of why is my DVD+RW eject taking 5 minutes? (300MB of data in writeback cache will probably take that long to write)
