I agree about the effective use of developers' time. Nonetheless two points: - In case a mounted drive contains multiple partitions, all would automatically be mounted. Then you should perform unmount for each partition separately which is repititive and boring. There might be options to override the default behavior but it is not expected an ordinary user know how. - Generally when a bug is reported, it means software did not perform to expectations, left unattended it might show itself later - might return mightier.

Only have "Eject". Status in GVFS: Invalid Status in abstraction for enumerating and managing block devices: Won't Fix Status in Unity: Invalid Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “udisks2” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: In Ubuntu 12.04, I could right-click on my usb-external-harddrive's Unity-Task-Bar icon (launcher icon) and select "Safely Remove". Upon doing this, the icon would disappear and I would proceed in unplugging my external hard drive. However, since upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10, this option is no longer available in the context menus (Quicklists) for external drives. Instead, all I see is "Unmount", and after clicking "Unmount" the icon remains on the task-bar (launcher) and no indication is given that would imply that the unmount occurred successfully. The intent of this report is to bring back the "Safely Remove" option which (by making the icon disappear after selected) indicates that you may now safely removal your USB external hard drive (by unplugging its usb connector).
