I use bsd so long that I have no insight on win behaveor anymore.
The default is that only root might mount and dismount the drive.
I'm always puzzled when that happens on win. Thank you for clarify-
ing this.

Also do remember that a lot of the issues with Windows safe ejection of media was solved a long time ago, when Windows stopped caching of writes to removable media. This change happened in Windows/XP.

You mentioned this some time ago, but I must forgot that. Good to know.
Berkley file system now caches in the background and makes the
system fast and usable. I tend to expect that from every fs I encounter.
Best regards.
