Bug Description

In Nautilus (or "Files", or whatever it's actually called), whenever I unmount a partition by clicking the eject icon a message appears saying "You can now unplug {partition name}".

This is fine if the entire partition is an external drive, but for internal drives still appearing in the window and still listed in lsblk (also externals with other mounted partitions) this could mislead someone to attempt to unplug a drive that is unsafe to remove. Also, if there is more than one partition in a drive and some are still mounted, you shouldn't get that message saying you can now unplug the one partition you unmounted while the other partitions are mounted and drive is unsafe to unplug.
