Why not have Eject for USB sticks and other removable media, and Safely
remove for external hard disks? For USB sticks and alike, Eject is alright,
because it's usually safe. But for an external hard disk, it should be made
more safe:
Clicking Safely remove should show a dialog window to
How does the system distinguish between USB sticks and external hard
drives (other than size)?
I've noticed that Nautilus actions do not trigger OSD notifications.
Removing external media by right-clicking within nautilus will not

The won't fix decision is not by users and IMHO is bogus. Ubuntu
12.04 had the 'Safely Remove' feature and it worked. 'They *removed* it

'They' are also saying that Windoz CAN have the feature but Ubuntu
cannot, which is BS.

Excuse me, is there any way it could get fixed in Ubuntu, evethough
Gnome guys decided they won't fix it? There surely must be a way to
recognise HDDs from card readers. A script that would do it is nice, but
needs more clicks, can't we just have the old feature back?

So - we had this feature. And then it got removed to avoid rare problems and
replace them with common problems?

If there can't be a safely remove option, could you at least add an
unmount all partitions on device option or something similar so that
people don't have to right-click and unmount X partitions separately before
they can unplug the device? I'm guessing it can't be that hard to find

I have encountered internally wired USB devices in two cases:
1. An old Thinkpad connected the internal optical drive via USB.
2. An internal card reader that fits a 3.5 drive bay and connects to a USB
header.
In both cases, a full Eject of the device rendered it unusable till next
reboot.

The safe remove functionality was removed from udisks2, and it's not planned
to bring it back. It caused too much trouble with e. g. devices which are
internally wired to an USB port, and you could never use them again until after
a reboot.
Some USB sticks have a light to indicate when they are powered. In
12.04, when Safely Remove was selected the light on the stick (and
USB hub if plugged into a hub) go off. This is the expected behaviour.
There is no longer a Safely Remove option in 12.10. If I select

Actually, you have to unmount all partitions first to avoid filesystem
corruption. That's the one thing that is absolutely critical.
After that, yes, remove power if you can. However the reason why Gnome
is treating this bug as Won't Fix is because there are too many device
types that are unsafe
Again, putting a drive to 'sleep' is NOT correct fix!
You have to REMOVE POWER first, to *safely* remove/disconnect a USB
drive.
That is what Safely Remove did in older versions of Ubuntu.

I agree we could just:
1. Unmount all partitions; and then
2. Suspend the drive (put it to sleep).
That should be a safe way to remove the drive.
The main issue with this bug is that the Unity launcher is presently
tied to the Nautilus behaviour. So far we have only mirrored what
