RE: cache Yes, at least a synchronize, but can we always know (in time) if the medium has been removed? We may not always get an eject request, right? I think write-back cache is inherently unsafe in general, but I guess we have to allow unsafe things like that for non-production use.

I suppose at the very least we should to a SYNCHRONIZE on ejection if it's write back?
