Comment 35 for bug 36252

I totally agree with Martin Schwenke's comment. I have the same problem with an external USB drive (Hitachi Travelstar in a Sarotech Cutie case). Unmount from the right-click menu was working in Edgy, of course this is regression!

And what about usability? How to explain to my mother that Linux is better and easier to use than other systems when she must open a terminal to do a 'sudo eject /media/drive*' then enter her password...?! I can see this bug affects lots of people around me and this is how they starts to resolve it by despite: they unplugged their drive while praying to not lost data.

Are anyone currently working on this critical bug?
