 I completely agree. "Safely remove" is a lifesaver for me. You see because
I work on Arm-Linux stuff I'm always moving 2-3GB images around on SD Cards.
And in some cases the SD's have 2-3 partitions. Also are the portable HDD's
we use around here. My own WD320GB PHDD has 4 partitions. So using Nautilus
it becomes annoying to unmount each and every of them.
But with "Safely Remove " just couple of clicks and voilla! Yeah, I can open
a console and type $*sudo umount /dev/sdb*.* But it's annoying **to open a
console and type a command just to remove a device - which I can do from the
already open nautilus in couple of clicks. Also I get to see a 'syncing'
dialog box, so I know that the buffers are getting emptied.
