>>> For USB flashes I have "/sys/block/sdc/removable = 0" and It seems I made a mistake when copying text. I have = 1 for them. I'm sorry.
I made a big work (4 usb flashes, 1 USB HDD + 3 laptops, 1 PC). I tested Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 13.04, Fedora 18, OpenSuse 12.3. The results are not good: a have only one flash, which can be detached completely (with poweroff) with the newest Ubuntu 13.04. The report is located in Google Docs, you can download and explore it (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao5e713Ig9g_dHJBalI2b09TQ2ZNOHJOQnhFbEVXaXc&usp=sharing). On first sheet I wrote a summary for my devices (name, fdisk -l, lsusb, udisksctl dump, cat /sys/block/sdc/removable, comment). On the second sheet I collected test results - on different machines, distros, with safely remove test by Nautilus, udisks and Unity. I think we need more test results. It's unbelievable, that almost all modern Linux distributions can't safely remove USB-flashes and spin down USB-HDDs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1067876 Title: Missing "Safely Remove Drive" option from Quicklists. Only have "Eject". Status in GVFS: Unknown Status in abstraction for enumerating and managing block devices: Won't Fix Status in Unity: Invalid Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “udisks2” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: 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).
