Hmm...  Looking back at what I wrote...

Presumably either have the filesystem unmounted for the disconnect (and 
ideally, the system off, tho with modern drives in theory that's not an 
issue, but still good if it can be done), or at least remounted read-only.

I had guessed that was implicit, but making it explicit is probably best 
all around, just in case.  At least I can rest better with it, having 
made that explicit.
