I really think it's a Linux 2.4 v. 2.6 kernel implementation difference. Most people running 2.6 kernels have no issues, as it has the support of how to command many devices out-of-the-box. I've seen both operations under Windows XP, depending on if the USB key automagically loaded a driver or other support. If someone wiped the USB key clean, and it's the first time that vendor's key has been inserted into a Windows XP system, I've seen it not work as advertised. In any case, I found the light to be _useless_ under Windows XP at times. I've waiting for the light to go out and have still seen corruption after yanking it. The _only_safe_ way under Windows XP is to hit the notification tray for "Safely Remove Hardware." I do the same with "umount" under Linux 2.4. Under Linux 2.6, I run "df" and see if it's mounted. -- Bryan J.
