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)
