thanks Jeff. It just seems like a hit and miss solution (no way of knowing all data has been written to and that the device has been unmounted from all filesystems). I kinda expected some kind of 'it is safe to remove /dev/sdb' in dmesg.
I think `eject /dev/sdb` will do what you want - if it's safe to pull, it'll exit immediately and silently, but if it or any of its partitions are still associated with any filesystem or md device, and the drive can't safely be ejected/unplugged, it'll complain.
