What should happen when I unplug a USB-storage device with mounted filesystems
that are in use?
At the moment, it simply kills the USB port that it's on, it won't recognise
anything plugged into it later.
Sort-of understandably, the scsi-module won't now unload, nor will the usb-storage
or USB ones.
Obviously, this isn't intentional, but my MP3 player has a very badly designed
connector.

Not good things :)
But all should be well once you unmount those mounted filesystems. Did
you try that?

That's not good at all. Can you try 2.6.6-rc3 and see if it does the
same thing? If so, can you send us the kernel debug messages that
happen when you yank out the device, and then unmount the filesystems?
thanks,
