Linux is dangerous to Vogue ! Beware... :)

Are you guys unmounting the device before disconnecting it or powering it off? Linux and Windows caches the writes to the physical medium, so if you just copy a file over and then when you see it's finished, yank the usb cable out or power off the phone (or let the phone power off), then you stand the chance of corrupting the partition.

If you are using the USB2PC program, note that it doesn't work like ActiveSync. It will power down your phone according to your profile settings. This will lead to eventual corruption of the partition. You need to take care when you use this application. Always disconnect and keep the phone power on while connected.
