Did you always unmount the drive before unplugging it?  If not, that might
explain the warnings.

Depending on the filesystem type, NOT unmounting it might leave it in some dirty state which could be anything from annoying but trivial to actual data loss. I unmount mine as well, but not using GNOME I can't say what "eject" does, I thought that was for media like CD.
