Depends on what you do; after "sync", the volume should be in a clean
state, ie. no data loss if you immediately remove the drive.

While we could force unmount, we cannot do a generic unmount of
everything, since we let several services running that don't need to be
stopped (for example those that still let you move the mouse, and allow
you to push the "restart" button if shutting down failed for whatever
reason).
