He said he'll unmount it first, so presumably that should avoid most
data loss? I suppose if you're in the middle of a RAID resync, or
just ran fdisk or fsck or similar, you could still have unflushed
data. Does that mean that hot-unplug is not recommended, and one
should always do warm-unplug instead?
