I know, thanks; i'm using the GUI (thunar file manager). I've
dist-upgraded this morning. After two quick tests (just read a file;
and read/write a file) i don't actually see this issue anymore, the
pendrive gets unmounted, so maybe i spoke too soon. Murphy's Law...

Within Thunar, you probably accessed a file on some other device, thus causing thunar to forget that it needed the pendrive.

If not i'll come back with more data, like dmesg and all...
