I have a WD My Passport Ultra external hard drive. When I plug
it in to the PC, immediately a read-only "WD Unlocker"
device/drive is mounted (this is normal, it is used under
Windows or Mac to provide an app to decrypt and mount the real drive).
But then if I umount that drive and try to eject it, eject gives
an error. I get the same error (via a dialog) if I use nemo to
eject the drive.
I'm using latest Mint 19 Cinnamon.
