Don't remove a disk without umounting the filesystems that live there.  If you
do that, you could cause filesystem corruption.  This is because writes are
not necessarily done synchronously, so if you unplug a disk without umounting
it, it might have have half of a file written.  You could add "sync" to the
fstab line, which will make all writes synchronous, but that'll make the disk
slower.
