for me, removes the necessity to pull an re-insert the thumb drive to

whole point in issuing eject -t.
Are you sure the device node is removed? At least in Gnome when you
press the eject button on a flash drive, it appears to do an internal
"eject", which seems really weird to me. The drive size goes to zero,
but the device node is still there. When you do the "eject -t", it
reconnects the media and the drive size comes back. There's no way you
can do an "eject -t" on a non-existent device node.
