The "safe remove" functionality was removed from udisks2, and it's not
planned to bring it back. It caused too much trouble with e. g. devices
which are internally wired to an USB port, and you could never use them
again until after a reboot. Also, having two options was a constant
source of confusion. So I'm afraid this is "wontfix" from the distro
side.

Title:
Missing "Safely Remove Drive" Option from Context-Menu
Status in GVFS:

Bug description:
In Ubuntu 12.04, I could right-click on my usb-external-harddrive's
Unity-Task-Bar icon and select "Safely Remove". Upon doing this, the
icon would disappear and I would proceed in unplugging my external
hard drive.
However, since upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10, this option is no longer
available in the context menus for external drives.
Instead, all I see is "Unmount", and after clicking "Unmount" the icon
remains on the task-bar and no indication is given that would imply
that the unmount occurred successfully.
The intent of this report is to bring back the "Safely Remove" option
which (by making the icon disappear after selected) indicates that you
may now safely removal your USB external hard drive (by unplugging its
usb connector).
