I have an 80 GB IOMEGA USB2 hard drive. Mounting it is easy. Unmounting seems to work, but when I push the power off button, the power stays on. Just for the hell of it, I tried "ejecting". root@24-117-46-53 media]# df -h IO* Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 75G 349M 75G 1% /media/IOMEGA_HDD [root@24-117-46-53 media]# eject -v /media/IOMEGA_HDD eject: device name is `/media/IOMEGA_HDD' eject: expanded name is `/media/IOMEGA_HDD' eject: `/dev/sda1' is mounted at `/media/IOMEGA_HDD' eject: unmounting device `/dev/sda1' from `/media/IOMEGA_HDD' eject: `/dev/sda1' is a multipartition device eject: trying to eject `/dev/sda1' using CD-ROM eject command eject: CD-ROM eject command succeeded [root@24-117-46-53 media]# There were no CD's to eject and drawers did not open.
