I once accidentally unmounted the system drive. You know what? Aside from some crash messages and a lost battery indicator, the system just kept going.

I finished my Zoom call just fine, finished what I needed to do real quick and then rebooted.

It all went back and was just fine.

A friend of mine has a Laptop, where you can easily pull out out the hard drive while the OS is running. We once did that and it worked kinda fine. After plugging the hard drive back in it continued to run like before.
