If one unmounts a disk, is that disk still available for write and can the following sync do anything?

    I was under the impression that the sync command makes device removal safer somehow. Even though the device was unmounted, there may be cached data that wasn’t written yet. Could be wrong about that, but it seems harmless to include.
