A sudo umount does remove the drive correctly even when the device isn't attached and in fact it's seems this is the only way that the device can be re-recognised.

New users aren't going to umount a device before unplugging it. Can there be no mechanism for auto detection of this?

BTW its the same for SD cards on my laptops SD reader.
