I am not much aware of the nautilus code. May be people who work on
Nautilus will be able to provide this information.

Can any nautilus contributor or one who has idea of nautilus code
explain this? Having safe to remove and eject are great and fine
tuning them will be very useful for users.

Makes sense. Seeing the reason having this is really helpful I think.
A good information :).

Forgot to copy all so sending this reply again.

Thanks,

 Yes of course it does not have a optical disc or disk drive. But I
 thought if there is no such thing nautilus should not try to spin
 down. Linux kernel has nothing to do with this problem though.

 Right.  Bear in mind that nautilus may not have any way of finding out
 whether the device has removable media, other than requesting for the
 media to be ejected.  But if it doesn't know then failure of the
 request shouldn't be reported as an error.

Is kernel not exposing this information? The other OS shows Eject
for the android device and for other pen drive I get a safely remove
option - stated this assuming the options in nautilus and the other OS
mean the same.

 What I wrote earlier was wrong, sorry.

No problem :).


 No, the kernel does not export it.  But user programs can get the
 information directly from the device in exactly the same way that the
 kernel does, by issuing an INQUIRY command.

I will try to file a bug in nautilus project. As I am not in the
nautilus mailing list my mails are not getting delivered.
