Over the past week or so I've have an issue ejecting external disks, mainly SD cards. The disk appears to eject and the icon goes from the desktop, however after a second or so I get the pop up "the disk X could not be ejected........" and the only way to get rid of this is to 'force eject'. If I click try again it just keeps refusing to eject.

Why am I getting the failure to eject message even though the icon for the disk goes from my hard drive? How can I fix this?

Any help appreciated.
