I have Ubuntu 12.04.3 with GNOME 3.4 and udisks 1.0.4-5ubuntu2.1. With
this software I can do a Safely remove of a USB-flash or external USB-
HDD from nautilus (3.4.2-0ubuntu8) and from gnome-disk-utility
(3.0.2-2ubuntu7).

In modern linux distros (such as Ubuntu 13.04, 13.10, Mageia 4, Fedora
19, OpenSuse 12.3) there is no Safely remove option in Nautilus (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1067876 and
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60293).

In gnome-disks Safely remove / Poweroff is appeared again (from 3.8, see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675542), but it does not
spin-down external USB-HDD.

In some linux distros I can spin-down my disk with "udisks --detach
/dev/sdX", but it is not user-friendly.

So please, enable spin-down on the udisks side.

I understand that external SATA (and IDE) HDDs are hot-pluggable and
hot-swappable, but it is not comfortable for me to detach rotating
drive.

Title:
  Safely remove is not working (or broken) in Gnome Disks

Status in GNOME Disks:
  Fix Released
Status in abstraction for enumerating and managing block devices:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In 12.04 I was able to safely remove USB-stick (make its LED off) and USB-HDD 
(do a spin down).
  In 13.04 this option is missed.

  In 13.10 it is appeared again, but not working as expected:
  +    Gnome Disks normally powers off the USB flash (tested on 4 different 
flashes and 2 USB cardreaders).
  -     Gnome Disks does not spin down USB HDD (but udisks --detach does)
