Title:
  Safely remove external USB drive in nautilus causes screen to freeze
  and system auto-reboot

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Plug in external USB disk (single NTFS partition) --> go to nautilus
  --> right click on volume name under 'Devices' section --> left click
  safely remove drive. Screen freezes and system restarts after a few
  seconds. Reproduced almost every time.

  In two occasions the system switched to terminal mode reporting
  "Kernel panic - not syncing: fatal exception in interrupt
  3.0.0-12-generic...". However, I haven't been able to reproduce since.

  Using "umount /dev/sdb1" in terminal (where 'sdb1' the USB disk) does
  not cause the reported problem. The specific external USB disk has
  been used in Maverick and Natty without issues.

  Using another external USB disk (flash-based) and testing with both
  ext4 and NTFS partitions could not reproduce the problem.
