Alan,
I ejected (allthough it's called 'safely unmount' in Kubuntu Feisty) an
external USB harddrive with an ext3 filesystem. It worked exactly as expected:
-The drive spun down and stopped
-The icon disappeared from the desktop
-The drive was no longer accessible
I believe this is how the 'eject' funtion in Nautilus should work as
well (although I'm not sure how I would want it to behave if I had
several partitions on my external drive... probably I would want the
system to be smart enough to notice the difference between partitions on
a disk and the disk itself. And give two options when I right click on
one of those partitions on the desktop: 1) 'Unmount this partition on
drive [foo]' and 2) 'Eject entire drive [foo]', followed by a popup,
warning the user which partitions will also be unmounted when he/she
continues. Or something similar, but this would probably be something
for a blueprint? :-) ...).
