I'm trying to understand why a normal user is not allowed to unmount their USB stick? I think it is most likely a udev rule. does anyone know ?

Thanks

If I understand this correctly, it's a mount/umount rule - normal users cannot run root commands. They are written to disallow normal users from performing root tasks.

However, if you are using gnome, you can use the gnome-umount command (which is the equivalent of right-clicking the icon and selecting "Unmount"). I suspect there is a similar analogue in KDE.
