Sitsofe, If I may quote my comment on bug #36252, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/36252/comments/40 , perhaps if my suggestion (last part) was implemented, it would solve your problem?
[quote] How Kubuntu does it: 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' function in Nautilus / gnome-volume-manager 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? :-) ...).
