Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Let's assume I'm a regular Ubuntu user. I want to remove a pendrive. I right-click the icon and what I see? Three options to choose!
1) Unmount
2) Eject
3) Safely remove a device (it seems it's the same as Eject)
I think only the 3rd option should be left. It's the way it's done in MS Windows XP (Vista/Seven behaves worse) and I think it's a proper way. If a user want to view their device again, they can disconnect and connect it again. If sb doesn't want to do that and they does want to unmount, not eject a device, then... then the user isn't a regular user and they know how to use a umount command - GUI option to do that is not needed, it only confuses others.
