--- Begin Message ---Package: hal Version: 0.5.8.1-4 Severity: normal Hi, Some USB devices tell when they can be "safely" unplugged because they detect they have been "ejected" by the PC. When unmounting devices in Nautilus, that does not happen. One has to manually "sudo eject /dev/..." to have the device properly tell it can be unplugged.

See that mail from Greg K-H: Thanks for doing the additional investigation! I turned up the following entry from 'Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt' in the Linux source code: What: dev->power.power_state When: July 2007 Why: Broken design for runtime control over driver power states, confusing driver-internal runtime power management with: mechanisms to support system-wide sleep state transitions; event codes that distinguish different phases of swsusp "sleep" transitions; and userspace policy inputs. This framework was never widely used, and most attempts to use it were broken. Drivers should instead be exposing domain-specific interfaces either to kernel or to userspace.
