Do you explicitly unmount your flash drives, before yanking them out.
I have to admit that is the one thing I don't do
so answering with your subject in normal letters: why?
Yes. This reminds me of when I was doing tech support back when Win95
was the "latest and greatest." I told a caller to reboot his computer
and his response was, "OK, I just pressed the reset button." I can only
hope that by the time his box came back up that he understood why that's
not a Good Idea. People, Linux expects you to unmount drives before you
remove them for a number of Very Good Reasons, and if you don't, you can
expect trouble. All I can suggest now is that the OP install testdisk
and hope he can recover the data.
