Really, the whole issue of unmounting a usbstick is not intuitive for people. I know many people who still just yank the thing out when they're done with it (even after warnings).
I believe the solution is to have a "soft unmount" after a device has been idle for some amount of time (30 secs? 5 mins? I have no idea what's appropriate). In this situation, a usb would be basically unmounted, except that there is still a point on the file system which can be accessed. If the user attempts to access that point, the disk is remounted and seems as normal to the user (except possibly a couple seconds delay). As far as terminology, I think "unplug" or "detatch" is better than "remove safely", which in turn is better than "unmount". -- "Unmount" in volume right-click menu, is tech-speak and undiscoverable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28835 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
