   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. :-|
