Since the PC has no way of knowing when you eject the disk (for
floppies) you have to have a timeout, so that the data gets flushed.
For CD's you need a timeout to unlock the drive, otherwise the user hits
the eject button and nothing happens - you have to unlock the drive for
eject.
I'm not saying you automatically EJECT the disk - just unmount it, or
mount it RO so that the user can remove it without harm.
