Thank you, Martin! For more accurate results I made a clean install of Raring on external HDD.
I updated gvfs to the latest version (1.15.4-0ubuntu1). For USB flashes I have "/sys/block/sdc/removable = 0" and and 'gvfs-mount -o' reports on Eject (from Nautilus or Unity) "Volume removed" or "Mount removed", device is still powered. udisksd[2274]: Unmounted /dev/sdc1 on behalf of uid 1000 /var/log/syslog: kernel: [ 2507.403900] sdc: detected capacity change from XXXXXXXXXXX to 0 If I send manually 'udisks --detach /dev/sdc' after which 'gvfs-mount -o' reports "Drive disconnected". /var/log/syslog: kernel: [ 2694.313868] usb 3-1.2: USB disconnect, device number 25 For USB HDD I have "/sys/block/sdc/removable = 0" and 'gvfs-mount -o' reports on "Safely remove" (from Nautilus) or "Safely remove parent drive" (from Unity) "Drive disconnected", but HDD is still rotating. /var/log/syslog: kernel: [ 2954.171781] usb 3-1: USB disconnect, device number 29 So device is removed from the /dev filesystem. So I can't --detach it with 'udisks --detach /dev/sdc'. It seems to be a complex problem between udisks2 and gvfs, etc. Two weeks ago I tested Fedora 18 and OpenSuSe 12.2 - they have 'Safely remove' broken too. I dont think that there is something wrong with my hardware.
