[Bug 90097] Re: USB memory stick light stays on after "safely remove" (KDE)

[kko]

** Summary changed:

- USB memory stick light stays on after "safely remove" (and 'sync'/'sudo umount') (KDE)
+ USB memory stick light stays on after "safely remove" (KDE)

** Description changed:

  Hello.
  
  I didn't know whether to file this against 'dbus', 'hal', or some other
  package. Since I am on Kubuntu Dapper, I decided on 'kubuntu-meta'. (I
  hope I haven't misunderstood the purpose of that package.) However, it
  seems probable that the same issue is present also when using Gnome.
  
- After I "safely remove" a USB memory device, the device light isn't
+ After I "safely remove" a USB memory device (and 'sync', or instead of
+ "safely removing" do 'sudo umount' for it), the device light isn't
  turned off, as would be expected. My question is, which process is /
  should be responsible for powering off the USB stick?
  
  If the physical device would show that it was powered off after a "safe
  remove", trusting the process not to cause data loss (see bug #61946)
  would be a lot easier.
+ 
+ (I don't really expect 'sync' or 'sudo umount' to do anything to the
+ light, they're included only to make sure that the device gets properly
+ unmounted.)
