Some USB sticks have a light to indicate when they are powered. In
12.04, when Safely Remove was selected the light on the stick (and
USB hub if plugged into a hub) go off. This is the expected behaviour.
There is no longer a Safely Remove option in 12.10. If I select
Eject, neither the light on the stick or hub go off. This doesn't
give a good indication to the user that the drive can safely be removed.
I also have a problem that a Lexar 64MB Jumpdrive (05dc:0080) will re-
appear on the launcher after I eject it.

Title:
[quantal] Missing Safely Remove Drive and Eject options from
Quicklists. Only have Unmount.

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).
