Knowing you want to use Thunar, and arriving late in this thread, you may happily press D if this has been discussed... What happens if you issue "umount /mountpoint" from a vt, rather than clicking "eject" in Thunar? Also, hard drives attached via USB give fuzzy results at best. After years of trying many different things/software in Gentoo, now I just hang a serial cable out of my workstation, and an external power adapter close. STILL there are times when it's not behaving properly.
