Recently I had to support an Ubuntu-using friend whose external FAT disk
was not mounting because it had previously been unplugged without
unmounting. I told him repeatedly about the need to unmount, but
sometimes he still forgets or it just happens by accident.  This is a
casual user who does not know about fsck; even if he did he would
probably be overwhelmed by the process. Had he not asked me, he would
have considered the disk dead and the data lost.
