Thats the something I'm not getting : in an "out of memory" case all the 
"delayed writing" mechanism had to do was to stop accepting new data until 
it it was able to and had written (some of) the buffered data.   That 
doesn't really sound like rocket science.

I just did some googeling and there is (minimal) talk about disappearing and 
re-appearing storage.  In that case, the USB stick was inserted and 
available all the time - as disabeling the "delayed writing" mechanism and 
it happily accepting gigs of data shows (I assume that it than would throw 
errors on disappearing drives).

Than again, I do not really have a good idea about what that "delayed 
writing" mechanism actually does ... Maybe something quite different than 
what I'm imagining. :-|
