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.

Only have "Eject". Status in GVFS: Unknown 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).
