You got it somewhat wrong - udisks does not provide any UI => it's not the right place to report this bug - there was some confusion in the UI between "Eject" and "Safely Remove Drive" -> the feature was deemed confusing and removed from the UI - the feature will be back in the upcoming udisks 2.1 and gnome 3.8 releases, see - http://git.gnome.org/browse/gvfs/commit/monitor/udisks2/gvfsudisks2drive.c?id=b3f72baca687f81e7618d4b829ade2df2b59d2b8 - http://cgit.freedesktop.org/udisks/commit/?id=81dcb6eeaeceb6c6faae1a40a5b34a65cd5af653
Either way, udisks is the wrong component to report bugs on this so closing NOTOURBUG. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1067876 Title: [quantal] Missing "Safely Remove Drive" and "Eject" options from Quicklists. Only have "Unmount". Status in GVFS: Invalid Status in abstraction for enumerating and managing block devices: Won't Fix Status in Unity: Invalid Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “udisks2” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: In Ubuntu 12.04, I could right-click on my usb-external-harddrive's Unity-Task-Bar icon (launcher 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 (Quicklists) for external drives. Instead, all I see is "Unmount", and after clicking "Unmount" the icon remains on the task-bar (launcher) 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).
