(Get the code!)
Alan,
I ejected (allthough it's called 'safely unmount' in Kubuntu Feisty) an external USB harddrive with an ext3 filesystem. It worked exactly as expected:
-The drive spun down and stopped
-The icon disappeared from the desktop
-The drive was no longer accessible
I believe this is how the 'eject' funtion in Nautilus should work as well (although I'm not sure how I would want it to behave if I had several partitions on my external drive... probably I would want the system to be smart enough to notice the difference between partitions on a disk and the disk itself. And give two options when I right click on one of those partitions on the desktop: 1) 'Unmount this partition on drive [foo]' and 2) 'Eject entire drive [foo]', followed by a popup, warning the user which partitions will also be unmounted when he/she continues. Or something similar, but this would probably be something for a blueprint? :-) ...).
