thanks Jeff. It just seems like a hit and miss solution (no way of
knowing all data has been written to and that the device has been
unmounted from all filesystems). I kinda expected some kind of 'it is
safe to remove /dev/sdb' in dmesg.
cheers

hi all,
Whilst I am aware that with AHCI and SATAII I can just unplug a HDD at
will what is the correct process for doing a 'clean' dismount ?
Since MD is a layer over the top of the physical device how can you
ensure with certainty that all data has been flushed and the device
removal is clean ?
Simply unplugged the hard drive's SATA cable should be fine.
