I believe this was changed around SP2 for XP, and Vista has always had quick-removal for the devices it undestands to be external (eSATA still gets detected as non-hotswappable unless you registry-magic-it). However, this doesn't protect against pebcak-yanking the device you have documents open from. It really doesn't. Just trust me, I've tried. ;) Maybe this is something FreeBSD should consider? Maybe a hack in "mount" to allow the mount-option "is-removable", that tells the OS "don't bother write-cache this" and "cleanse the cache when user yanks hardware"? //Svein - -- - --------+-------------------+------------------------------- /"\ |Svein Skogen | svein_at_d80.iso100.no \ / |Solberg Østli 9 | PGP Key: 0xE5E76831 X |2020 Skedsmokorset | svein_at_jernhuset.no / \ |Norway | PGP Key: 0xCE96CE13 | | svein_at_stillbilde.net ascii | | PGP Key: 0x58CD33B6 ribbon |System Admin | svein-listmail_at_stillbilde.net Campaign|stillbilde.net | PGP Key: 0x22D494A4 +-------------------+------------------------------- |msn messenger: | Mobile Phone: +47 907 03 575 |svein_at_jernhuset.no | RIPE handle: SS16503-RIPE - --------+-------------------+------------------------------- If you really are in a hurry, mail me at svein-mobile_at_stillbilde.net This mailbox goes directly to my cellphone and is checked even when I'm not in front of my computer. - ------------------------------------------------------------ Picture Gallery: https://gallery.stillbilde.net/v/svein/ - ------------------------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkrWHrgACgkQODUnwSLUlKTUUACgiUcE2LpKOq/xqvRpd+/IbC8+ wOYAn1F3oH8akMqBj2cXu1c6xetEXyQ9 =ZF4S -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----Received on Wed Oct 14 2009 - 16:55:55 UTC
