After the write progress bar is full and the progress window stops displaying, the status light of the device signals, that still data is written to the device. Previously, when you pressed the unmount button in nautilus, a window apeared and displayed a warning not to remove the device. Since about two weeks, this warning message is not displayed any more. When removing the device before the write cache is empty, the filesystem of the device is corrupted on the next mount. This behaviour is reproducable and occurs every time. It also happens on other installation of 12.10 as well.
