Pretty sure unclean unmount potential just rose immensely. Whoops, the sticky note fell off… just lost data / corrupted my filesystem.

  Why not use file system that can handle such misuse? Aren't there transactional file systems?

    There is no transactional filesystem that works cross-platform. And even if, say, you stick to ntfs, no filesystem in the world can protect against data loss in the event of accidental disconnect.

      > There is no transactional filesystem that works cross-platform Frankly I don't see how this is a problem for a project that wants to implement 4GB stick-it notes, doesn't seem to be the greatest challenge. > no filesystem in the world can protect against data loss in the event of accidental disconnect If note falls off and copying didn't finish, sure you'd expect to lose data. Otherwise if cache is disabled there shouldn't be a problem.
