This mostly works for me (if you're using LVM you need you use
vgchange -an to tell LVM to let go of the physical device; it's not
enough to unmount any filesystems stored on the Ultrabay device);
however after docking or undocking, suspend-to-ram is broken.  The
laptop will suspend, but upon resume it will hang and not come back to
life.

Annoying, and since the failure is on the resume side, it's darned
hard to debug.
