When a USB disk is mounted by gnome-volume-manager, I can unmount it using

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!).
