This, I cannot help you with. But I can tell you how to unmount the
device :)
        umount -l /media/usbhd
Where "/media/usbhd" is the appropriate mount-point.

The "-l" (lazy) flag commands umount to unmount the device when it is no
longer being used; I normally find the drive unmounts within seconds.
(Type "mount" to see if the device it is still mounted.)
