I would like to be able to unmount a USB drive after copying data to it.

When the drive is plugged in, NSWorkspace notifies my app. The device
path is "/Volumes/LaCie-Disk"
When I use [ws getFileSystemInfoForPath:devicePath ...] ,the volume
is writable but not unmountable.
[ws unmountAndEjectDeviceAtPath:devicePath] fails - not surprisingly
since the device appears to not be unmountable.


...maybe use diskutil?

[0:509] > diskutil unmountDisk
Disk Utility Tool
Usage:  diskutil [mount(Disk)|unmount(Disk)|eject] <force>
       [Mount Point|Disk Identifier|Device Node]
Mount, unmount or eject local disks or volumes.
force is only valid on unmount or unmountDisk.
Example:  diskutil unmount /Volumes/SomeDisk
