I am familiar with automatically mounting media but I have never heard of
automatically unmounting. Isn't manually unmounting necessary to ensure that
the system has finished writing any changes to the device (when the device
is writeable of course). How safe is it to just disconnect a digital camera
or thumb drive when it is mounted?
