Ok, thanks for the info. I have found people with similar problems here, although it may be totally irrelevant: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&postid=1106630#post1106630
Try stopping X and dropping to a console and see if the problem happens there as well... Are there any errors when trying to remount after the disk has been ejected? In any case, can you please attach the output of 'dmesg' when the problem occurs?
