Should this also be applied to "Volumes" section of the netbook edition?
Currently a right click on a removable drive in this section on UNE only

I understand the difference between all the options, and use all of
them. I am still confused by the GUI. I think much of this is solvable
with pop-up dialogs. See examples:

2. [automount]
3. Press eject
4. Drive unmounts and dialog box appears:

I strongly disagree. First of all, advanced users appreciate terminal because

Luke makes a good point. I would go even further and suggest that

How about special casing the Desktop context menu:
"Eject" for Optical Drives and "Safely Remove" for anything else.
Advanced users can still "Unmount" in the Places sidebar context menu, while
average users will (hopefully) see the eject button and not need to worry about
what Unmount means.
