Under KDE in 10.2 I can 'safely remove' a disk by right clicking upon

I think it does the same thing as when you manually issue the umount
command.

Can't I just pull the plug and walk away with it?

In most cases, yes. However, since the "remove safely" option is
available, I think it is best to use it.

Where is this "remove safely" option? I am not sure what you are using.
Is it part of the CLI?

Right click on a mounted USB disk and you should get a 'remove safely' option.
That's what I get on oss 10.2+updates.

Well, I've been repeatedly told I'm wrong, but for the past year or so
- on pretty much a daily basis - I've just been taking the thing out of
the socket and letting SUSE take care of the rest.

My opinion is that it only takes an extra second to click "remove
safely," so why not have the extra assurance that everything is written
and synced properly.

Hmmm...must be missing something.


I can post a screenshot of my right click menu if you want?

Cheers

Pete
