Assuming you have mounted the USB device on /mount

  • sudo umount /media
  • sudo udisks --unmount /dev/device_name

If you wanna unmount and cut the power to the device

  • sudo udisks --unmount /dev/device_name_with_number && udisks --detach /dev/device_name

ex: udisks --unmount /dev/sdb1 && udisks --detach /dev/sdb

Sudo command gives you admin (superuser) privileges if you are logged in as a standard user.
