I think it might be because reiserfs is a journaling filesystem. I know I sometimes forget and remove my usbkey (which has FAT) without unmounting, and don't see the problems you see. Even ext2 should be fine. Never tried with a journaled filesystem. Like someone else mentioned in this thread, it might be because the journal hasn't been updated yet. Probably is a bug in reiserfs too (it should recover more gracefully). BTW, checking the manual for mount(8), only ext2, ext3 and ufs supports the sync keyword). -- John L.
