Description David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2009-10-09 00:23:41 UTC 
Some systems use internal USB devices. Automatically detaching such drives when calling gdu_drive_eject() (triggered by e.g. the eject button in the Nautilus sidebar) as we do right now leads to loss of the drive until reboot (since the device is internal). The only viable option right now is to separate "Safely Remove Drive" and "Eject".

If we gain infrastructure to let us know with 100% accuracy that a given receptacle is external we can go back to the previous behavior. 

See http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24343 for details.
