I have always treated the *nix equivalent to "eject", for the purpose of a USB flash drive, as being 'umount /path/to/mount/location' - which, if I'm not mistaken, does include an implicit sync operation.
Thunar has "Safely Remove", which not only does sync && umount, it also makes the partition disappear from its listing. It (but not the drive) also disappears from lsblk's output. I'm not sure what happens if there's >1 mountable partition on the drive. Must investigate further. -- And we never failed to fail / It was the easiest thing to do -- CSN
