usb drive not detaching

[Asko Kauppi]

Well, 'lsof /dev/sda1' says nothing.  And I _know_ that there's no 
program using it.

Closing all Gnome & other programs makes no difference, either.  
Perhaps it's a driver issue, I'll see what happens with the latest 
apt-get upgrade.

The error itself (translated, in an X11 dialog):
	
	Detaching selected volume failed
	umount: /dev/sda1 device is busy
	umount: /dev/sda1 device is busy
	Error: umount failed

Thanks anyway! :)
