Some mass storage devices (mp3 players, mobile phones, ...) have buggy filesystem implementations which cause corruption when the devices is accessed from outside, I have a mp3 player here which behaves very strange when you mount and write to the device with filesystem type "msdos" instead of "vfat", in fact the player is nearly unusuable afterwards :-) I had no problems with all my usb storage devices and I tried all kernels up to 2.6.10.
