Description
If you remove flash drive without unmounting it, a warning is displayed. The data on the pendrive could be a mess.
It would be nice if Ubuntu allowed to plug the usb flash drive back and finish the writing (of course it should check if this is the same drive).
Use case: Philip is in hurry. He writes his documents to a usb flash drive but forgets to unmount it before removing. Ubuntu shows him a warning and asks if he could plug the device back. Philip plugs usb drive back and Ubuntu saves the rest of his documents. Everyone is happy. ;)
Probably very hard to implement?
(sorry for my English)

This is a nice idea. Usefull, user oriented, not a workaround to another technical problem. Only a plain nice and useful feature...

That's a good one, and it points on a very interesting direction: giving the user an impression of a more stable, better done operative system. Anyone can pimp a gui with enough graphic design, but making the user feel safe on its own computer? That's a different history...

simple yet a good idea indeed.

mind reporting which one?
i wonder what would happen though if said user tries to transfer a ridiculously huge file though or with absurd cases (i.e. transfer a file from a DVD to a flash drive, unplug said drive and remove dvd from drive) but meh, it's still a good one if it can be implemented
