And here're the unmount and eject commands:


brianokeefe at ubuntu:/media/For_Linux$ umount For_Linux
umount: For_Linux is not mounted (according to mtab)
brianokeefe at ubuntu:/media/For_Linux$ eject For_Linux
umount: /media/For_Linux: device is busy
umount: /media/For_Linux: device is busy
Error: umount failed
eject: unmount of `/media/For_Linux' failed
