Public bug reported: when you have a usb stick mounted and wish to remove it the RT click menu shows an entry for eject and an entry for safely remove . Selecting safely remove does not work because it immediately remounts automatically and opens a nautilus window . This is confusing and counter intuitive since you do not "eject" a usb stick you remove it . eject works as you would expect safely remove to work , eject unmounts the drive and it stays unmounted . NOTE! this also applies to usb hard drives . I have a vanilla maverick install and do not have either usbmount or pmount installed , usb drives are automatically mounted when plugged in and a nautilus window opens on the root dir of the drive .
