The problem with such a rule is that it is executed after the device is
removed, so it cannot unmount the filesystem cleanly. The only way to do
that would be for udev to know you were going to remove the drive before
you actually unplugged.

I thought that pcmanfm, the LXDE file manager, had a context menu option
to unmount.
