Opps, I crashed the machine. When I moved it, I unplugged the

When I did a umount it paniced. My bad.

That happened to me the other day too. I'd mounted a USB flash drive, unplugged the USB hub, replugged it, remounted the drive, and then of course I couldn't umount the first mount. I did a umount -f and the machine crashed instantly.

Is this the sort of thing that's really hard to handle, or might it be safer one day? I don't know how serious it is to do bad things to mounted file systems, but I'm curious.
