I'd like to throw in my $0.02 as well. Perhaps if we all did, then
there would be plenty of money ;-)
Mike says:
I don't claim that I have a solution - but I think I have an example
that really requires for this to be solved in some way other than "you
must unmount the USB device before unplugging".
I think it would be great to not have to unmount a device before we
unplug it, but even Windows requires you to do this by "ejecting" the
device first. I don't see this as a problem. I especially do not see
this as a problem with the USB stack. I haven't followed the entire
thread, but is this the only remaining complaint/issue/criticism/etc?
Cheers,
Sean
