Re: unmounting USB key (sorry, lost the original title)
I tried the same thing, but the LED stays on; my laptop IBM TP43 has dual-boot with WinXP and under WinXP it is possible to safety remove (turn off) the USB stick. On my previous laptop IBM TP42 with Fedora Core 1 an eject was able to Power Off the USB Stick (LED off). Update from Micah is interresting: On 5.2/5.3/5.4 I've used umount then camcontrol eject dax. The light always turns off for me. HTH, Micah On 12/20/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I can't remember who posted that and I removed my emails from server.

FreeBSD enthousiast, yes :) Additionally, my USB key's light does NOT turn off when using XP's safely remove hardware feature. The light only turns off under FreeBSD's camcontrol eject, Linux's eject, and Windows 98's eject A camcontrol devlist does still show the device. The light will not relight even if I do a camcontrol start on the device and remount it. I've wondered if the eject is strictly necessary. Especially since many of the university's XP computers have restricted accounts that don't allow us to safely remove hardware - leaving us students to unsafely remove our USB drives.
