From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did you umount the file system before unplugging the drive?
I figured removing it from fstab was akin to unmounting it.
I don't think so. I guess it's sort of possible that it automagically does that but I haven't kept track. I just use umount(8).
Definitely no
Hopefully it wasn't in use and doing that can cause issues. It probably not a big deal but next time hit the eject button.
Nope, it doesn't work that way. You have to umount it. You could reboot after removing it from fstab, but that's a bigger hammer than necessary.
