Description Nrbrtx 2013-02-16 10:55:15 UTC 
In Gnome disk utility 3.0.2 (Ubuntu 12.04, 3.0.2-2ubuntu7) there was Safely remove option for any drive.
In Gnome disks 3.6.1 (Ubuntu 12.10, 3.6.1-0ubuntu1) it is missed.
Please bring it back.
Removing powered device from USB port is unsafe operation. It is not sufficient to unmount/eject drive, it must be completely powered off before removal.

This bug exists in Fedora 18, OpenSuSe 12.2, Ubuntu 12.10 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/1127127).

Moreover Disks does not spin down (stop) my external USB-SATA Tsunami HDD. It's the most DANGEROUS for my (and anybody's) data.

This feature will be back in 3.8, see
