Chris,
   my question referred to the menu option.  In one case the menu option 
says "Safely Remove Drive" in the other case the menu option says 
"Unmount".  In the case of "Safely Remove" when I select it the system 
unmounts then remounts the filesystem.  In the case of "Unmount" the 
system unmounts the filesystem, but does not remount it.
