USB Unmounting Problem

[David Fletcher]

I've got a different device to yours, but here's how I got mine working 
properly:-
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2007-November/022195.html

which may or may not be of use to yourself. It certainly copies all of the 
files to my T60 without problems.

As for unmounting, you should always right-click the icon of the device on the 
desktop and select "Safely Remove" to ensure that any data which are in a 
buffer on the PC are properly written to the device and the USB connection 
properly shut down. What I have found when doing this is, when I safely 
remove on my desktop which is still running Gutsy, the icon disappears when 
everything is completed. With Hardy the icon remains until the device is 
unplugged, but it changes to show that it is no longer mounted. I've not so 
far tried Intrepid, so cannot comment.

Any help?
