> CD/DVD drives should have "Eject", and anything else should have "Safely Remove"
Then what should a CF/SD reader have? I'm guessing "eject" because the media can be removed from the drive.
Currently in 9.10, when I "unmount" a CF or SD card in my SanDisk multiformat reader, the LED next to the CF or SD slot remains on until I pull the card out; when I "eject", it turns off. When I "safely remove", both the SD and CF LEDs turn off and so does the "main power" LED until I disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it.
How easy is it for the underlying system to distinguish an SD reader with an SD card in it from a USB thumb drive? The former should get "eject", the latter "safely remove".
