I've noticed that once I right click on my flash drive icon and umount it, in order to remount it I have to unplug it and then plug it back in.
Is there a command that will accomplish the same task without the unplug and plug back in physics?
Yes. You should use $ gnome-mount -p YOUR_FLASH_DISK_LABEL
where YOUR_FLASH_DISK_LABEL is the label you see when your system mounts a drive automatically.
The same way you can use gnome-umount and gnome-eject (for CD/DVD probably) commands, though noone is recomended for end-user usage.
