Less than an hour ago I asked a friend and Linux Guru how do I remove
the USB Stick? I did not see a dismount command on the GUI. He said
just pull it out, just make sure you are not writing to it when you
remove it.
He said Linux is way ahead of Microsoft when it comes to Hot Swapping
devices. Cool!
I think you need to find a new Guru. Linux would be _behind_ MS if you
could do that - because it means you can't cache writes to the stick. You
_can_ configure a USB stick to be uncached (it's not quite trivial), but
the proper procedure is to umount, or at least sync, the device first. Try
writing something important to the stick, and unplug it. Plug it into
another computer and see how much you've retained...
