I have had data lost on one drive because unmounting on a Mac is very 
questionable.  I have accidently unmounted the CD instead of the stick 
and removed the stick on a FC4 machine.  Again, lost data.

It is the dual icons/mount points that are causing problems.  Even on 
Windows, it creates two mount points.
