GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 573313
Umount vs. eject?
Last modified: 2010-05-26 15:29:29 UTC
Please describe the problem: When I plug in my cellphone (Nokia 5800) via USB, I get a nice dialog that asks me to open Banshee to play the media files, because it is recognized as a media player. And this is perfectly fine, even though I am using it as "Mass storage". What bothers me is that when I want to umount the phone and I right click the icon on the desktop, I get two appearingly identical options (see screenshot), that seem to perform the same operation. Apart from being confusing, I don't understand if one is "better" than the other. Why does this happen? Is it the phone's fault? Steps to reproduce: 1. Plug in the phone 2. Right click on its icon on the desktop 3. Be confused by two identical options Actual results: Either way, the phone is umounted. Expected results: To only have one option, since both seem to do the same thing. Does this happen every time? Yep. Other information: See attached screenshot.
