Comment 2 for bug 61348

Thanks for your comment.

The ltspfsd running on the client does in fact include an automounter, and if no network activity on the ltspfs mount is currently going on, will unmount the physical media, making it safe to pull after 2 seconds of inactivity.

For the next release, we'll look at what it will take to put the "Eject" menu option back in, and have it do something useful (like, say, undo the ltspfs mount). Certainly, keeping the current behavior of the automatic media unmount is desireable, as users in terminal situations can, and often do, ignore the dire warnings about yanking media without a proper eject. However, having this in would add consistency to the interface, and would be a desirable goal.

Cheers,
Scott
