As I explained, it wasn't a mount problem, it was a
sync problem.  You pulled the floppy before it was
synced.  That's the same as pulling the floppy in
DOS when the light is still on.

As I said previously, this is not a problem with HD
partitions (unless you hit the reset button).  First,
syncing a HD is *much* faster than syncing a floppy.
Second, you can't accidently pull a HD.

Still, if you want to be totally paranoid, that's
your decision.  However, you still can use Linux.
Just don't mount your precious non-Linux partitions.
Or, if you do need to access them, mount them read-only.

Cheers,
Steven
