As root
umount /media/usb* works
What do you mean works? As in it does not report errors?
/etc/mtab shows a ubsfs mounted filesystem in /proc/sys/usb
umount /proc/sys/usb works as well
It's just that the Flash drive still keeps blinking. I would suppose that that is the default behaviour of a usb drive -- it probably needs to be "stopped" at a lower hardware level, rather than just unmounting.
The light blinking indicates IO in progress. Unmount flushes all the data. It should not return till it is done. After unmount is completed, the light should not blink anymore.
How do you guys handle usb drives in Linux?
Unmount. It is lowest level as it could get.
