If one unmounts a disk, is that disk still available for write and can the following sync do anything?

Surely an unmount forces a sync.

Yeah I'm thinking about fuse filesystems and hotplugged USB keys though. There was a time when the feedback about devices being ready to unplug was bad for users.

This answer suffered the fog of time. Never needed it with the unmount command.
