I asked some time ago why there is no Safely Remove option in Dolphin on my Fedora-10/KDE system, which I can click on before removing a USB stick.
You can unmount it either from the dolphin Places panel or from the Device Notifier. PoC says you can also umount it from kickoff.
I don't seem able to unmount it from the Device Notifier. (Nor from the f-menu.) I have to go to the Dolphin window.
However, the light on my stick remains on. IIRC, under Windows when I click on "Safely Remove" and choose the USB stick to remove, the light on the stick goes off, which I find reassuring.
That seems to work on some sticks but not others. Take the usual 2-3
second
delay and you should be fine - especially if you have seen dolphin blank
out
the screen.
Still, it would be nice to be offered the choice to "eject" the device, which I found does indeed turn it off.
