When I insert my USB key (i-Bead 100 256Mo MP3 player) in my system, I get:
Feb 4 01:22:47 orient kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-2.3, assigned address 7

Feb 4 01:22:53 orient devlabel: devlabel service started/restarted
in /var/log/messages and all is weel (I can mount /dev/sda1 without any problems).
When I unlug the key, I get this bucketload of error messages:

Is this normal? Is there a command I should run before unplugging the key?
Could this be related to something I've noticed on the key:
[root@orient root]# LANG=C fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 258 MB, 258998272 bytes
16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 988 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 988 252903+ 6 FAT16
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(999, 15, 32) logical=(987, 15, 32)
