The Disk "Framus" Was Not Ejected Because It Is in Use.

Well, actually, it's not. Any way to find out who or what the system
thinks is using it?

Well yes it is :-) Just start quitting applications that might have
opened a file on that disk.

Or any of several free prorams available at Macupdate and elsewhere,
such as What's Keeping Me.

I have the same problem with some external disks - both USB and
FW400/800... When I click 'Eject "xxxx"' in the contextual menu the
disk(s) disappear from the desktop, but the message above occors many
times but not always. - It happens both with OS X 10.5.8 and 10.6.8.

I don't know why, but my guess is - here - that it might be caused by
ClamXAV's ApplicationSentry which always is running on my machines.

Cheers, Erik Richard
