Well, there is a clickable menu entry which says "Unmount" or
"Eject" on a desktop icon for a given volume.

This helps but this is not a guarantee that bits will hit actual media.

You have to have a fully Mac'ified brain to find that interface
intuitive.  (Once you are at that stage you go and design Nautilus :-).

You mean a physical "eject" button on a drive and not a software one
on a desktop?  The later is doing just that.  AFAIK some drives are
able to generate an interrupt if you are pushing that real button
but very far from all or even a majority.  If you would get that
working with only _some_ drives then _that_ would be so confusing...
