Is it safe to remove a detachable drive without unmounting if it was mounted read-only and also with noatime option? (Or does the latter not matter?)
Note that, the question is from disk's point of view and not from point of view of applications that may be accessing it at the time of detaching. The question is in general for any file system, though if it matters assume ext3. To me it appears safe, though not getting any reference to confirm this.
