For USB sticks, eject is not displayed, unless this is a buggy device that advertises itself as a removable media drive. Instead you see the “safely remove” item. If we don’t show “unmount”, there is the problem with multiple-partition disks. If we show it, it’s confusing for users who don’t know the difference with safe removal. Which is why I don’t have a magical solution to propose. I don’t think the underlying APIs expose whether or not there are several partitions attached to the same disk. Cheers, -- .''`.
