When a USB disk is mounted by gnome-volume-manager, I can unmount it using
nautilus (via right clicking on the disk's icon), but I haven't figured how
to do it from the command line. Any hint?
Here's a perl script I use. Save it somewhere in your PATH (I call it
$HOME/bin/pum), and make it executable (chmod a+x "$HOME/bin/pum").
When invoked it generates a list of mounted file-systems in /media/,
asks what to pumount. It will fallback to a lazy umount if necessary.
Term::ReadKey is used to avoid hitting return after your selection
(doubling your productivity!).
apt-get install libterm-readkey-perl
