Just eject /dev/whatever works well in my experience, and causes e.g. my

Traditionally, sync assures one that all buffer transfers have
completed before the eject.
umount is supposed to ensure a sync automatically. If that doesn't work,
it's a pretty serious kernel bug.

Since kernel 2.6.20 umount guarantees 'sync' (for ntfs-3g mounts).
Of course it can't hurt.

One directory seems to cause a problem:

Typically this would mean a non-UTF8 filename but please see below.

I've mounted an external USB hard drive on my fc-10 system. I have all

More strangeness. A person who knows what is on the disk says there
are no strange filenames, just ordinary letters and numbers, so the
utf-8 stuff seems like a red herring. Maybe something is corrupt? Ran
