Hello list, Using kernel 2.6.10-rc2, I unplugged a USB Flash drive from my USB port while it was still being written to. This resulted in a complete and total lock of the USB subsystem, trying to unload the modules made rmmod freeze... In the end Alt-SysRQ came to the rescue allowing me a clean unmount still... Syslog with everything after unplug attached. Jan -- Never reveal your best argument.
