I have a mobile device attached via USB to a Linux box and wish to unmount it. I ran the command fdisk -l however it does not list a mount point. I then ran the command lsusb which yielded the screenshot below.

I then proceeded to search the /dev/disk/by-id directory and was found the following file

The file is a symbolic link to what appears to be /dev/sdc

Questions

  1. Why does it not appear when I run the command fdisk -l?
  2. How do I unmount it properly without simply yanking the USB cord from the USB port?
