It spins down my USB-HDD with safely remove. It's great. Please note: * with modern version of udisks2 "Safely remove drive" in Nautilus and "Safely remove parent drive" in Unity options are available only for USB-HDDs, * for USB-flashes there is only Eject option and it is normal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1067876 Title: Missing "Safely Remove Drive" option from Quicklists.
