Auto-unmount USB drive

Multi tool use
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.
13.04 usb udev unmount

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu pubpub! It's great that you are posting this, although you put in the question/answer form. So you should edit your post to only make it a "question", and then answer your own question =).

Since there is no question, shouldn't this be on a personal blog?

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", ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/sd??", RUN+="/usr/bin/logger auto umounting %k"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/sd??", RUN+="/bin/umount /dev/%k"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/sd??", RUN+="/bin/umount -lf /dev/%k"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/sd???", RUN+="/usr/bin/logger auto umounting %k"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/sd???", RUN+="/bin/umount /dev/%k"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{DEVNAME}=="/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.
