There was nothing in /proc/mounts, nor was there any visible reference
in /proc. If there was, the first thing I would have done is to make
sure no process is using the FS. But I only did it later based on a hunch.

Please explain why losing USB connectivity means I've lost data. Is a
SATA/SCSI/NBD disconnect less likely to lose data?

Is XFS is not stable enough to function without a need to reboot in
case of a relatively minor HW failure? Minor meaning affecting only
some disks.
