So, does this mean, that if it is plugged in after Linux has loaded, it will be unmounted and need to be mounted so that data can be saved to it? Ian McDonald wrote:
Also it should be noted that FC3 have improved their handling they claim.
Often it gets confused whether it is mounted or not it is claimed in FC2.
You can always run the mount command from a prompt but supposedly in FC2 it will allow you to graphically mount just once before it complains about locks

Its best to unmount the device first and then you can connect and disconnect with power on safely.
The power issue will not damage the device as its made for that, but the mount issue can corrupt data.
