Unable to umount my USB memory stick

[Larry Laffer]

I have a memory stick with 2 ext3 partitions on it. When I eject one partition using Nautilus, both partitions are umounted. But then, the light on my memory stick blink one time and then stay on as if it was mounted. If I try to mount the memory stick using Nautilus right-click menu, it gives me an error message. I have to remove my memory stick from the USB port, then insert it back for it to mount my partitions.

If this behavior is normal, I would suggest 2 things :
1- Do not provide power to the memory stick. If ths light is off, you know it is not suppose to work... As when we eject a peripheral in Windows, it should turn off the light on the memory stick.
2- Remove the mount function in the right-click menu in Nautilus. In fact, if the device completly dissapear from Nautilus, no need to fix the right-click menu. And if you do as stated in my first suggestion, you won't need to take care of this one.

Thank you for your time.

Confirming this and setting this as a wishlist item. I have noticed similar behaviour in the past with two partitions on one disk.
