Re: usb flash drive removal (Re: Desktop NetBSD needs your help)
I'm going to express my 2 cents worth here, even though I am unworthy
of running NetBSD and have contributed little.
Removing a removable device should not crash the system.
Being able to plug it back in with no ill effects (or a message that
says it can't be done safely) would be nice but, ONLY after removing
it doesn't crash the system.
Better to have a false alarm that something may not work correctly
than no alarm when it doesn't/won't/can't work correctly.
Apologies for stating the obvious. Now back to lurking on my NetBSD
desktop, sitting next to my NetBSD mail, web server (non-commercial),
next to my NetBSD cable router, next to my NetBSD ...

P.S. - I installed NetBSD on my MacBook Pro (Under Fusion) but, OSX had
all the X/*ix stuff that I needed so that effort withered on the
vine.
P.P.S. - On my NetBSD desktop; Twm, Exmh, iCal (lots of other dinosaur
stuff),
JDK6, Perl5+ and SeaMonkey (SeaMonkey !!! YES!! what an
improvement!!!)
P.P.P.S. - now back to lurking and this time I really mean it.
