The only thing I can say, my JAZ drive here behaves like that. When some-
body not liking me presses that eject button unnoticed during that long
day and I have to unmount the JAZ partitions later at home to test some-
thing it ejects the disk (and I am getting my typical "aaarggg"-face)
(better not to talk to me at these moments.... :-) ) (home is enough far
away not to like to go to the bureau where the JAZ resides...) And sure
enough when this happens, nobody is at the bureau anymore. Murphy.
