If you do not cleanly unmount your partitions in Linux then that is similar to NTFS setting the dirty bit. Means it is necessary to do a disk check before you continue to use the partition. I do not think the IFS driver does this, so a reboot is needed. Btw. regarding your open office.... next time try to reach one of the linux consoles first (ctrl+alt+F1...F6). there you might be able to kill processes that hang (even the X11-server or the window manager/GUI). Or if this is too much trouble for you, login as root there and type reboot or halt, that forces a clean reboot (with unmounting drives...)
