Ok, I am definitely losing data when using the simple bash commands su
umount /media/WD from the shell.  I'll try experimenting with the
scripts above and see if I can rectify this lost data situation on
Ubuntu with the Western Digital Passport External Hard Drives.  By
default, installing Ubuntu did not have sdparm installed but I found it
online and installed it.  From what I've read, I also have to add users
to the plugdev group to use the pumount command.  If anyone knows how to
repair the right click graphical icon eject feature for Ubuntu's
Graphical Display Manager (GDM) that information would be appreciated.

Thanks.
