Bug Description
im a newb to ubuntu and especially to gnome! i tryed, if it dismount a volume if i put a mounted volume in the trash, like it works on a mac. it dosent! i gives some error, but no warning, no confirmation, or anything else. so i didnt felt bad about it.
back to windows, 8/9 of my 200 gb where gone. maybe this shouldnt be possible, because newbies to linux like me,
could ruin their whole data with trying :(
i was able to get my data back with the program "getdataback for NTFS" but it took over a week to scan and copy these files on a new hd o.O!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I can't reproduce this - if I try to send a mouted usb device to trash in nautilus it doesnt allow this. So please answer these questions:
1. Is this reproducible?
2. If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug? Be as detailed as possible. What file system uses the device you had problems with? I assume it may be NTFS.
3. What error messages appear?
This will help us to find and resolve the problem.
Btw: why sould putting something in the trash umount a device? it should delete files, like a trash is supposed to do.
