I'm very surprised that the fix for this hasn't made feisty-updates.
I have several USB devices that I could unmount/eject just fine from the "right-clock menu" in Edgy but they are immediately remounted after being ejected in Feisty. Ways of fixing this so I can "safely" remove my devices include:
* Reverting to the command line to unmount the filesystem.
* Discover that I need to install a package from something called feisty-backports, figure out how to do that and then actually do it successfully.
* Edit /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-storage-policy.fdi to stop the devices being ejected.
As an experienced Linux user all of these are OK for me.
However, if this happens to inexperienced users it is a showstopper because they do not have the know-how to be expected to do any of the above. That is, from a usability point-of-view for inexperienced users:
* This is a regression.
* This is critical.
Fixing this should be a high priority as it will affect a lot of Ubuntu's target users.
