I don't know, I will have to test this.

Could you please help me by showing some Lisp I could use to see if
unmounting a volume gets reported in some way to the
file-notifications machinery?  I have very little free time these

investigating this for too long, which will happen if I need to find
the recipe myself.  TIA.
