How can I safe remove a usb drive from the Gnome 3.6.2 GUI? This feature used to be available in the past (up to 16, I haven't used 17) from the Desktop and Computer tab in nautilus.The eject arrow and the unmount features do not power down the device. So, is there a way to do this old safe remove?

Apparently this feature has been removed from Gnome, and neither nautilus nor nemo file browsers have it.So I wrote this small script and added a new udev rule to allow me to safe remove my usb drives.udev rule:/etc/udev/rules.d/91-usb_device_rule.rules ACTION==add, KERNEL==sd?[1-9], SUBSYSTEM==block, RUN+=/home/user/usb_script '%k'usb_script:#!/bin/bashDEV=/dev/$1DEVR=/dev/${1:0:3}for DISKLABEL in `find /dev/disk/by-label/ -type l`; do     RES=`readlink -f $DISKLABEL`    if [ $RES == $DEV ]; then        LABEL=${DISKLABEL//*\//}    fidoneFILE=/home/user/Remove_$LABELecho '#!/bin/bash' > $FILEecho umount $DEV >> $FILEecho udisks --detach $DEVR  >> $FILEecho rm -fr $FILE >> $FILEchmod +x $FILEexitI've tested it on usb hard drives and flash dives as well.
