--- Comment #2 from skierpage <skierpage at gmail.com> ---
In my experience KDE Frameworks 5.88.0 on Qt 5.15.2 will silently mount FAT32
USB flash drives even if the dirty bit is set, and I don't think it checks the
disk. Then when you click Safely remove from the drive's context menu in
Dolphin or from the menu of Disks and Devices in the Plasma panel, KDE clears
the dirty bit.

Windows 10 will warn that the drive may be dirty and invites you to check and
repair it. So KDE/Linux's behavior is quite different from Windows. Maybe it
should let the user know there may be a problem, and invite the user to Check
and repair the drive (as KDE Partition Manager can do). If no one reopens this
I'll file a separate bug against Solid.
