USB 3 drives and remounting

[JMZ]

Hi flocculant,

Have you checked the device status through the lsblk command?  If you 
are done with the device, you might have to enter a umount command for 
the device before it is fully removable without data loss.

I'm wary of file managers' ability to mount/unmount drives.  Better to 
set up a simple startup script which mounts all the drives at the 
beginning.  It's a cinch then to umount drives as they are not needed.  
Anything that could result in data loss is best entrusted to a terminal.
