Dear Stephen,
In a perfect world people wouldn't remove floppies until it was safe. I agree the amiga's ability to "mount" more floppies than drives was useful before hard disks but less so nowadays. I suppose the closest equivalent now would be CD or tape libraries.
However, to protect users who have a removable media removed whilst writes are occurring - Is there a way of remembering unwritten data and requeueing it if a semi-written media is placed back in.
If the data were retained for 5 minutes or until a different disk were inserted (check for fs-ID).
Hmmm, it doesn't sound like a trivial amount of work - maybe user education is easier.
Tim
