Something strange going on?
Using eject doesn't seem to accomplish anything. There are no traces in /var/log/messages, and no re-scanning of the device if inserted afterwards.
Perhaps it's the kernel I'm using, it's currently 2.4.25 which I compiled myself (not something I'm practiced at - compiling yes, kernels no!). As it hasn't actually solved anything I'll go back to the known & stable 2.4.20 and try again.

Even if it gives that error message, it should accomplish the goal.
eject is, primarily, used for removeable media devices. However, even on fixed-media it forces the kernel to 'forget' the media parameters (size, etc.), and forces them to be redetected.
If you eject in between removing and re-inserting, it should forget the drive size and re-scan when you reattach.
