Unmounting usually happens, but only in the desktop environment, most
probably because of udisk2 or whatever is called.
In console mode or server mode lets say, if the media is mounted
(usually manually) it is not unmounted if I press the eject button on
the driver, on the other hand it is not unmounted even if I would use
eject command, because none of this commands or the hardware button are
aware of the media being mounted and it also makes sense. In Gnome/KDE
the mount is not done by user but by the actual software, using most
probably fuse or something like that and Gnome/KDE is aware when the
disk is ejected, similar to a USB stick (I might be wrong).
