In the file browser (PCManFM), when I click (in the left pane, the

If it's an external (USB) hard drive, it stays in the left pane, but
its "eject" icon disappears. Its additional partitions are
un-affected (still mounted) - you need to click on the "eject" icon of
those partitions as well.
You can verify it is un-mounted by right-clicking on the entry in the
left pane, and if you see the choice to "mount" the partition, it is
un-mounted.
When all partitions of the external hard-drive have been un-mounted
(as described above), it is safe to un-plug the USB external
hard-drive (at least, this practice has worked for me for years
without any problems).
I forgot to mention, that before doing this, I need to click on
(left-click, to display) a local disk folder (such as the home directory).
If the file browser is displaying a folder in the drive to be un-mounted
(ejected), the entire PCManFM window goes away, and you don't know if
things got un-mounted or not, in which case you need to fire-up the
file-browser again to find out.
