Software Paradigm edit
Should we have an article on the concept of software frameworks that implement a dirty checking paradigm? Gabefair (talk) 18:07, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
What about file system "cleanly unmounted" or "not cleanly unmounted" flags? edit
No mention of the bit that gets set when you pull a FAT USB drive without unmounting??
can be read with fsutil dirty query e:
(Assuming "E:" as the relevant drive letter)
can be set with fsutil dirty set e:
(But why would anyone want to do that intentionally?!?)
can be cleared with chkdsk e: /markclean
(If there are no real errors on the filesystem)

- That's not unique to the FAT file system; some other file systems, on UN*Xes and on Windows, also have an indication of whether the file system was unmounted cleanly or not.
- I don't know whether that topic is discussed on any other pages; neither mount (computing), mount (Unix), nor fsck seem to mention it. Guy Harris (talk) 18:22, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
