Comment (by pulkomandy):
It's a "feature". Unmounting from Tracker does an "eject"-like operation.
For CD drives, the disk is ejected, for USB sticks, the whole stick is
powered off.
DriveSetup does just an unmount, which does not go this far.
I agree it is a bit confusing, and maybe the Tracker menu item should be
called "eject" to make this a little clearer. Not sure having both
"unmount" and "eject" menu items in Tracker would be a good addition, or
just adding more confusion.
