Re: How to safty unplug a USB Stick
I don't have FS problems. After a umount the USB stick has still the Power LED on. Under Linux an eject turns the Power LED off. I tried /usr/ports/sysutils/eject without success (freeBSD 5.4) I went a little bit through the source of an linux eject and the *BSD eject. The Linux Verion is using cdrom.h and *BSD cdio.h. I think that both eject's are actually doing the same (*BSD: ioctl(fd,CDIOEJECT); Linux ioctl (fd,CDROMEJECT)). I'm not a kernel/driver programmer, but I think the umass Driver or SCSI Driver (because eject /dev/cd0 also doesn't work ) doesn't accept a CDIOEJECT.

How to safty unplug a USB Stick
My USB stick works fine, but I can't figure out how to safty unplug the USB stick. The LED on my stick is always on; if i try camcontrol stop da0 or camcontrol eject da0 it stays on. Under Linux the eject command turns the LED (Power) off. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
