Unable to safely remove usb-drive
I am unable to safely remove my Nokia E63 (connected via cable).
Error detaching: helper exited with exit code 1: Detaching device /dev/sdc
USB device: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.2)
SYNCHRONIZE CACHE: FAILED: No such file or directory
(Continuing despite SYNCHRONIZE CACHE failure.)
STOP UNIT: FAILED: No such file or directory
What does this mean??
This happens with every USB storage device I connect and exchange data with. Removing it directly results in the data being written incompletely.

This is a bug and it has been filled.
The workaround is to go to terminal and execute sudo umount /dev/sdx
, where sdx is where your drive is mounted. If you don't know, open an app which will show you where your drive is mounted - GParted or Disk Utility for example.
Ussualy it would be sdc if you have two hard disks, or sdb if you have only one hard disk.
as I understood,sudo umount /dev/sdx
is the same as select 'eject' option instead of 'safely remove'
