I have encountered internally wired USB devices in two cases: 1. An old Thinkpad connected the internal optical drive via USB. 2. An internal card reader that fits a 3.5" drive bay and connects to a USB header. In both cases, a full "Eject" of the device rendered it unusable till next reboot.
But I agree they are rare and we should not be punishing everyone just to avoid problems with such devices. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1067876 Title: [quantal] Missing "Safely Remove Drive" and "Eject" options from Quicklists.
