I have an USB thumb drive with an LED that lights up when it is
activated.<br>
<br>
On Windows, when I am done using it, I can "safely remove" the
device, at which point the LED turns off and I know it is safe to
unplug it from the system.<br>
<br>
I could be remembering wrong, but I thought there was an equivalent
"safely remove" command in Fedora. However, on my F17 system, I can
no longer find this command anywhere, e.g., it isn't on the menu
when I right-click on the drive's icon, and neither umounting nor
ejecting the drive from that menu causes the LED to turn off. This,
understandably, makes me uncomfortable about yanking it out of the
system.<br>
<br>
So (a) what is the right way to completely deactivate a USB device,
so that the device knows and tells the user that it has been
deactivated, and (b) is there a bug here that I should be filing in
bugzilla?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

</div><br></blockquote></div><br></div></div>that is interesting. i plugin a 4GB usb stick, and it's mounted and i can see it in "Computer" as "$.0 GB Drive: $.0 GB Volume". if i right click and "Eject", the label changes to "Drive" , but the LED is on. If i right click on "Drive" and eject, "Drive" is still there but the LED is reset. <br>
i don't understand what's going on here.<br>
