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?
