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?
Thanks.

Yes.
mount diskid
where diskid is your disk device id, e.g. /dev/sdg1
You can find out what it is by running
mount
while the disk is mounted, or by checking /var/log/messages, to see what disk ID was assigned to it when the device was first plugged in.
You might need to specify a mount-point (where the device should be mounted),
e.g. : mount /dev/sdg1 /media/flashdrive
Hope this helps, Aleksey

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.
