Can't unmount external device because gam is watching it

Hi,

I have an external drive formatted with ufs2. When I try to unmount it
through nautilus (computer window), I get the following error:

Cannot unmount /media/disk-3: device busy.

Doing 

$ fstat | grep disk

I get the following:

***  gam_server 44650 1120 /media/disk-3 19241986 drwx------     512  r

Is there anything I am missing? Looks like the volume manager should
tell gam to stop watching that directory but is failing to do so.


uname -a: FreeBSD **** 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #11: Wed May  7

gnome version: 2.22.3
GNOME nautilus 2.22.5.1



Any hints greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Fernando
