I believe eject is the expected functionality of an external USB drive. The solution should be to make eject work well with all USB hard drives, and to make gnome-volume-manager aware of ejects, instead of disabling eject.

Based on the observation that eject works well with those Cyrpress-based usb hard drives in Feisty, and with all USB harddrives in Dapper and Breezy, it is probably a kernel regression introduced in Feisty.

Also, I don't think those "eject failure" duplicates are really duplicates of this bug. This bug is about the inconsistent problem in gnome-volume-manager only; i.e., when a USB drive is ejected, it should disppear from the "Computer" window.
