I suspect the following: - eject uses privately constructed SCSI commands to eject your disk so you are doing this entirely behind the back of everybody, the kernel does not know what you did. - refusing to eject /dev/sdb4 is something eject.c does for you; you might fix eject.c to also refuse /dev/sdb; send the patch to the maintainer.
