So the disk remains perpetually mounted. I don't believe that. Are you sure you haven't mixed up unmounting and ejecting? For example, what happens when you plug in a regular USB flash memory stick to an OS-X system? Many of them them are not removable. (More accurately, none of them are removable and many of them -- but not all! -- correctly tell the host that they aren't.) Is it then impossible to unmount such a flash drive? > It is what it is then.
