In this particular case, I try first to unmount the media and then to eject it.
You should also take a look at the output of ps. If you see a process that
keeps on
your media, kill it.
Then if nothing at all works, I try to introduce a little needle in the small
hole.
Generally it works but I dislike doing that...
