CRU drive causes Doremi to shutdown abruptly

[Scott Norwood]

That way, yanking the drive only has minimal consequences, only if you're actually transferring files from the drive, but this can easily be detected by the OS.

I thought that the point of the button on the CRU receiving frame was to allow the heads of the disk to be properly parked before they are subjected to mechanical shock. Is that not the case?

Typically, you wouldn't just yank out the drive, but press the button on the CRU frame - that will spin it down, but still disconnect it unexpectedly from the driver/OS. However, as these frames/drives are usually connected and mounted eSATA style, it should not cause any problem.
