The problem may be in that many systems I believe see virtually everything as a file and should be mounted (which usually happens automatically) and unmounted; therefore, when something becomes disconnected the system is not handling the unmount. Some systems do this automatically for you, some do not. This may be what's going on. Hope that helps.
