One problem is using the word "eject" as a synonym for "unmount" (that
the user happens to recognize more easily). With "eject" you expect the
volume to come shooting out of the computer... there's no good word I
can think of to use instead of "unmount" that communicates what is
happening in non-jargon terms. Mac (used to) use "put away" but that's
not very good. Maybe "shut down" or "unattach" or something?
I was thinking "remove" while I was reading it.
[Handy
Thesaurus...] Remove? Disconnect? Unjoin? Unlink? Unfasten? (Getting
silly now...) "Remove" has the advantage of linking with "Removable
Device"! "Remove from system"?
And yes, I guess "remove" would be the best option.
