That's a possibility. > But I doubt this takes several seconds to > complete... I've just run a test here. The umount command returns almost instantaneously and the light, which is normally only lit while data is flowing, flickers for about 2 seconds after the umount command. But further testing showed that it flickers for 2 seconds after reading single byte file so perhaps the blinkenlight is configured with a minimum activation time. Being cautious however, I always wait a few seconds before removing any USB stick from any computer. -- Mike Clarke _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
