I'm experiencing an issue when using the "Safely Remove" option to remove my 1TB external HDD from the Unity Launcher. Not every time, but occasionally my screen will go black and display LARGE amounts of text information (which I obviously cannot screen cap). The jist of the info displayed is that unmounting or 'safely removing' the drive causes a kernel panic. Is there a Command Line command to remove mounted drives, or at least one that would show me some sort of error output when the drive is removed? I'm trying to narrow down the cause. I could be imagining this, but it seems to happen most often when I have other programs running when I remove the drive (i.e. Firefox, Transmission). Please note that my external drive is not in use when I attempt to remove it and it is not being used either by Firefox or Transmission at these times. Any help would be appreciated.

Hopefully I'm posting this in the right spot, but I wanted t to thank everyone for their answers and say that I was able to solve this issue by installing ejecter from the repositories.



I turned off mounted drives in the Unity settings and now use ejecter to remove the external HDD. All seems well now and I just thought I'd share this workaround with anyone else who might have a similar issue.
