Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
When the user right-clicks on a pendrive at the Desktop, they are given two
options:
Eject
Safely Remove
It is not at all clear to the newbie what these are doing and why they
would be different at all.
Besides, for the experienced user, the simple "Unmount" option no longer
exists.
Further, and the partition being "Ejected" or "Safely Removed" are misleading
actions:
- Ubuntu won't "eject" my USB, will it?
- If the user regrets later on and wants to reopen the pendrive, they can't.
With Eject it even desappears from /dev, and with Safely Remove you still get
/dev/sdn but not /dev/sdnx
