And yes, I do keep checksums of all the data sitting on them and
periodically check it. So, for all of your ranting and raving, the
fact remains even a *crappy* filesystem like fat32 manages to handle
a hot unplug without any prior notice without going belly up.
By chance, certainly not design.
Yep. I've never unplugged a USB drive on purpose, but I have left a
drive plugged into the docking station, Hibernated windows XP
professional, undocked the laptop, and then woken it up later undocked.
It routinely would pop up windows saying that a 'delayed write' was not
successful on the now missing drive.
I've always counted myself lucky that any new data written to that drive
was written long long before I hibernated, becuase have yet to find any
problems with that data, (but I don't read it very often if at all.) But
it is luck only!
