tumbler prevents volume from being unmounted. The volume content consists of jpg, png, mov and MP4 files.

Here's the terminal output when trying to unmount the volume:

~$ fusermount -u ./private
fusermount: failed to unmount /home/slickymaster/private: Device or resource busy


Running 'fuser -m' on the mount point to see what processes are currently using the filesystem:

~$ fuser -m ./private
/home/slickymaster/private:  3829


Getting the process name:

~$ cat /proc/3829/cmdline
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/tumbler-1/tumblerd


The only possible way to get the volume to unmount is by manual killing the culprit process:

~$ kill 3829
~$ fusermount -u ./private
~$



~$ apt-cache policy tumbler

There is a workaround https://askubuntu.com/a/266060/21005 that prevents tumblerd from creating thumbnails of video files. This could be set default to not prevent unmounts.
