This guys' light is on (not "on", trully - just on and off periodically(sorry, can't find the right word in English)) whatever happens...even when writing data to it - it's the same.
I came to that from Windows, after safely removing it there, the light is getting off. I think that Bryan's post answered this very correctly. Most of the USB stick devices that I have seen, including the 3 I have always keep their lights on. Under Windows, when you click the icon to "safely remove" the device, the light does go out. However, under the 2.6 kernel, you do not need to umount the device.
In both SUSE 10.0 and 10.1, you can right click on the USB drive icon and select "Safely Remove", though 10.0 will complain you're not root. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
