Have you tried the -l option to umount instead? Imagine the case where I am working on my laptop on a file sitting on a stick, and someone in the train wants me to get up while I am adding the finishing touches to a paper.

USB handles insertions correctly, giving power to the device first before connecting the control. It's crap that they didn't go one step further. > I must have misunderstood your point about using floppies instead, The speed.
