I've seen this on 2 different laptops with various USB storage devices
(an 80GB Ion drive and a few SD/CF readers and even my PSP). Sometimes
it's right after you umount the volume, other times it's up to a few
hours later. I've been booting into the 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 kernel. I
haven't seen the issue come back yet.
