Short of having precognition so you know in advance, or modifying all hardware to support locking the drive in, once the drive is disconnected then you have no options - other than to tell the user off.

For this reason, the automounter package should provide a command for
the user to "safely remove the devices". Not providing it would suggest
the user that removing the device right away is harmless and is the
normal way.
