The umount command does the "sync" so if you run
"umount /media/My_External_HDD" and then you get back to the shell, you
are safe to remove the HDD.
I've experienced file corruption and oddity with reiserfs on a 400Gb
HDD, nothing important was lost, but it was quite annoying.
Which FS are you using on the HDD?
