Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 12.04, I could right-click on my usb-external-harddrive's
Unity-Task-Bar 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 for external drives.
Instead, all I see is "Unmount", and after clicking "Unmount" the icon
remains on the task-bar 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).
