Jautājums
SuperUser lasītājs RockPaperLizard vēlas uzzināt, vai jūs varat vienkārši izvilkt USB spraudni MTP ierīcēs, kas ir savienotas ar Windows:
I know that after attaching a typical USB mass storage device to Windows, it is important to properly unmount the device before unplugging it in order to avoid the possibility of losing data. But for MTP devices (such as many Android devices) connected to a Windows computer via USB, is it necessary to perform any special or particular procedure before disconnecting the USB cable?
I am interested in understanding this for all versions of Windows (XP and later), so please include the applicable Windows version(s) in your answer.
Vai jūs varat vienkārši izvilkt USB pieslēgvietu MTP ierīcēm, kas pievienotas operētājsistēmai Windows?
Atbilde
SuperUser autoram Carrein mums ir atbilde:
When plugging in USB mass storage devices, it gives a host computer undifferentiated access to the mass storage. It assumes absolute control over the file system similar to that of a hard drive.
As such, unless explicitly commanded by the host system to sever the connection between the devices, there is a chance that the host computer might corrupt the file system. Hence, the “Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media” message.
However, MTP, or Media Transfer Protocol, operates at the file level rather than as a large unit of mass storage at the block level. When plugging in a device such as an MTP device, the host system queries the files on the device.
This is often maintained as a database or index in the root file system of the MTP device. The MTP device’s system does not have to rescan the entire device when its content is modified; it only needs to update the database/index.
The host system can then send a message to the device requesting that a file be downloaded, which will be sent by the device after acknowledging the signal. Deleting files works much the same way. The host system sends a message to the device, marking a file for deletion, then the device removes the file upon acknowledging the signal.
This works much like a transactional file system, where either the file is modified or it is not. The storage will not be affected by a failed transfer. This is also the reason why MTP only allows one file transfer at a time (atomic file transfer), so that corruption cannot occur as operations are run sequentially.
So yes, you can just pull the USB plug on your device.
