Comment 38 for bug 1067876

A forward of bug 1067876 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1067876 ) on Launchpad:

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).
