How to "stop" a usb memory key


I am running suse 9.0 on an acer laptop.

When I plug in a memory stick the o/s recognises it autmoatically and mounts it in /media/usb....

When I want to un plug the stick is it enough to umount it ?? or is there another command to flush and stop it ??

thx in advance

umount is a safe operation. It doesn't allow to unmount something in use.
