Hi Rumi,

That really depends on how your embedded application is
written.  If it's a solid state app and you mount the media
read only, then you won't have any problems at all.  If your
app makes very little changes (configuration info perhaps)
you can remount rw, write, remount ro and be quite safe --
as long as the power down doesn't happen during the config
write.

If your embedded app writes to the HD all the time, then
you're going to have to at least go through an abbreviated
shutdown process.
