Unless the Power Manager is buggy, he should do all the syncing for

reboot the machnie at all.
That is not my experience though. I have a USB pen drive that I tend to
plug into my Apple keyboard that hangs off the back of my powerbook.
On more than one occasion I have just disconnect the keyboard (and
hence the USB pen drive) whist the powerbook is asleep. When the PB
wakes up it complains about the lack of USB Drive - fair enough. But
on re-inserting the USB drive one two occasions it could not be read
by the mac at all - in the end I needed to plug it into a PC to
reformat it...
It would be nice if as part of a sleep all files were synced and the
drives were left in a tidy state...
Cheers,
aid
