>Description:
after performing a 'mount' on an external USB drive, gnome-keyring apparently uses hald to obtain key information for a drive.  Unfortunately this process then causes "device busy" messages when you attempt to unmount it.  gnome-keyring was compiled with 'HALD' support enabled (I am rectifying this 'problem' at this time).  The workaround is to use the '-f' flag when unmounting the drive, taking care that nothing "truly important" is actually trying to access the drive before unmounting.

OS version:  7-STABLE
ports tree: RELEASE_7_2_0
>How-To-Repeat:
a) install gnome-keyring (as part of gnome) with the HALD feature compiled in
b) mount an external USB drive from a command line while the gnome desktop is running [in this case, using a FAT32 file system]
c) subsequently unmount the same device.  Note the error message, similar to "umount: unmount of /ramstick failed: Device busy".
d) re-attempt the unmount, this time with the '-f' flag to force unmount
e) note entries in /var/log/messages implicating gnome-keyring as the culprit

>Fix:
at this time I'm removing the HALD support from gnome-keyring and will add a supplement to this bug report if this does NOT rectify the problem.  It appears that the default setting is to have HALD support enabled.
