Under KDE in 10.2 I can 'safely remove' a disk by right clicking upon its icon. Is there a command line version to do the same? In any case what does it actually do?
I think it does the same thing as when you manually issue the umount command.
Can't I just pull the plug and walk away with it?
In most cases, yes. However, since the "remove safely" option is available, I think it is best to use it.
Where is this "remove safely" option? I am not sure what you are using. Is it part of the CLI?
Well, I've been repeatedly told I'm wrong, but for the past year or so - on pretty much a daily basis - I've just been taking the thing out of the socket and letting SUSE take care of the rest.
My opinion is that it only takes an extra second to click "remove safely," so why not have the extra assurance that everything is written and synced properly.
