Comment (by Zack):

 This ticket was for feedback when the user tries to unmount a disk via the
 "Unmount" menu item, and the unmount fails due to the device being busy.
 The feedback you're describing sounds good for the case of a user
 prematurely and physically yanking the disk from the system without
 successfully unmounting, but not quite right for this case since the disk
 is still physically there, it's just still not safe to remove yet.


 {{{
 This is what I've poorly described in the initial ticket:
 1   User plugs a removable disk in
 (stuff happens)
 2   User wants to unplug disk
 3   User selects 'umount' from the disk's menu in the Journal
 4   Journal tries to unmount the disk but fails, because it has open files

 What I'm proposing is something like:
 5   Journal sticks a Warning badge on the Disk's icon

 What you're proposing isn't the same thing, but could fit like:
 6A  User yanks disk while it's still mounted, losing data
 7A  Disk's icon goes "white stroke/no fill" with a Warning badge
 8A  User reinserts disk
 9A* Disk is rebuild to correct data loss/corruption

 Although #9A isn't possible yet.

 And then, I'd like to propose what happens when the user doesn't yank the
 disk:
 6B  When the disk is able to be unmounted, Journal unmounts it
 automatically
 7B  User removes disk and loses no data
 }}}

 Man, is WikiFormatting a pain sometimes.
