As Martin Pitt wrote, the default option is now "Eject", which mostly fixes the usability issue. One actually has to right-click and choose a non-default option to encounter this bug. Note also that I regularly do use "Safely Remove Drive" when removing a USB HDD because that is the option which powers down the drive before removing it.
Martin is correct in Won't Fix. This bug has been worked around to the extent possible, and the Ubuntu developers have no way to fix it completely. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/504440 Title: sd card "safely remove drive" kills reader device -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
