This bug affects me too, on 14.04 (kernel 3.13.0-46). However, the curious thing is that it only affects me with the new Transcend StoreJet 25H3 external HDD (USB 3.0) that I got recently. Before that I was using a Seagate external HDD (also USB 3.0) which I was able to safely remove (either using Nautilus or from the command line with udisks --detach). This seems to suggest that the drive itself is responsible for this behaviour.
The Transcend drive has a hardware button which on Windows is supposed to do a quick reconnect for a detached device, or a one-touch backup when connected. On Linux this button seems not to have any effect, but the fact that the drive can go from detached state back to attached state by its own action could possibly be the reason we're seeing this strange behaviour. Perhaps it's not a bug but a feature... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792085 Title: Automatic remount of safely removed drive Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in thunar package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in udev package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus When I choose "Safely remove drive" context menu entry for an external USB drive within a nautilus window or directly clicking on the desktop icon, after about 10 seconds the drive is automatically remounted and a Nautilus window showing the root folder opens. I have noticed that similar already happened with a very old Ubuntu version - Bug #110589 and as that is so long time ago I thought it is better to open a new bug. Reason of the problem might even be completely different.
