Public bug reported:
in 12.04 the utility (palimpsest / gnome-disk-utility / gnome-disks )
has a useful feature which is :
- Power Off Drive
So basically, if you have a NTFS external drive that you plug through USB, and
want to unplug it, you open the utilitu and
- unmount
- power off
then unplug.
Today, after upgrading to 12.10 (the new palimpsest), the utility got rid of
this feature. All we can do now is unmount the external drive.
Not powering off an external drive before unplugging it may be dangerous.
