No, it's a bug in Linux (as distributed by Debian). I'm using Linux in the sense of "the kernel and closely associated stuff." It is, not acceptable, but perhaps understandable that yanking the drive could cause drive corruption and data loss. For it to freeze the system is simply silly. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabootu's Minister of Proofreading http://www.jabootu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
