I'm not sure. Suspend is not a surprise, so you can do things so that you don't lose anything (what I described is pretty much unmounting while keeping file references). Surprise unplug, there is no way you can make the filesystem clean if it wasn't already.
I also think that USB flash and this kind of things should go back to clean state as soon as possible even whe mountd, but that's a different issue.
OG.
