There are devices that can be "Powered Down", "Ejected" or "Safely Removed" manually. The problem I see here is that Ubuntu 10.04 alpha 2 still uses these terms slightly incorrect. E.g. when I connect my mobile through USB I can "Safely Remove" or "Eject" it. I never saw it jumping out of the USB slot when I chose "Eject". We should keep discussing these terms until confusion is fixed.
With mount/unmount I definitely see no problem! It is a weak argument that these terms are not well known by people in the real world. Who knows how to "delete" a real folder then?? Using Ubuntu means entering the Linux/Unix world and there you cannot ignore the existence of partitions. You even cannot do this in fuzzy windows world. Hiding "Unmount" just hides a part of the concept about partitions, and THAT would be confusing. However I do agree to unmount all partitions implicitly when a device or media is powered down, ejected or removed. -- "Unmount" in volume right-click menu, is tech-speak and undiscoverable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28835 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
