Thunar Screen Shot

I'm running Slackware 14.0 x86 with Xfce 4.10 and Thunar 1.4.0

I have two portable usb hard drives, both with 3 partitions on them, ntfs, ext4, fat32.

I constantly have problems with Thunar not wanting to unmount the fat32 partition on both of these drives after I have copied something to them.

When I try to click the unmount arrow in Thunar I'll always receive a popup window and a NotifyOSD popup. I'm attaching a screen shot so you can see these.

Even though the NotifyOSD says it's writing data there isn't any data that needs to be written to it, I can have the drives sit for 10 minutes after I've copied something to them as an example and it will still complain. It doesn't matter how long I wait it still complains that it's writing data.

I don't have any problems at all with the ntfs or ext4 partitions.

It seems like Thunar just doesn't like working with FAT32 and I hope this can be fixed, as soon as possible, because I noticed in Windows when I run chkdisk on the partitions Windows is finding errors it needs to fix and the hard drives do not have any problems with them, Thunar is creating file system problems...

I plugged in and removed my hard drive a few times to test this, and this is all that was listed in /var/log/messages;
