Mounting and unmounting devices

111.

When a removable storage device is connected to a computer, it must be <emphasis>mounted</emphasis> by the operating system so the files on the device can be accessed.

112.

When files are copied to a storage device, they are not always written to the device immediately. Instead, they are often stored in a queue so that they can all be transferred to the device at the same time (for efficiency). If the device is disconnected before all of the files have been transferred, some or all of the files may be lost. To prevent this, a storage device must be <emphasis>unmounted</emphasis> before being disconnected.
