Comment 5 for bug 28835

I definitely think a notification icon would be a very good idea. Whether or not it should be one or severel can certainly be discussed.

The argument for multiple icons, would be that the behavior of cds and usb-sticks are quite different. CDs would probably be ejected, while usb-stick/HDs would be "safely removed".

There could be a setting in gnome-volume-manager to prevent certain devices to be displayed in the NA. I think it is safe to assume that people using external usb-drives will be able to figure that out.

Thinking of it, the whole notification stuff probably belongs to gnome-volume-manager... Still let's not forget Nautilus' "Remove Safely" menu entry.
