I used to work for a long time with ubuntu 10.10 and I changed to a recent machine so I had to move to Ubuntu 13.04. One feature I'm now missing is the auto umount of usb drives.
I've not been able to find easy info on internet.

pubpub solution (after I edited his question):




Creating /etc/udev/rules.d/80-usb-autounmount.rules:



# Auto-unmount USB storage (on remove):
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENVDEVNAME=="/dev/sd??", RUN+="/usr/bin/logger auto umounting %k"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENVDEVNAME=="/dev/sd??", RUN+="/bin/umount /dev/%k"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENVDEVNAME=="/dev/sd??", RUN+="/bin/umount -lf /dev/%k"

ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENVDEVNAME=="/dev/sd???", RUN+="/bin/umount -lf /dev/%k"*


Of course you still have to be carefull about opened files mainly in
writing.



Hope it will help others.
