Public bug reported:
USB 6.06.1, x86, 2.6.15-26-k7
I have noticed difference between behavior of my USB flash disk in
Windows (W2k) and Ubuntu. I tried four different USB disks, two of them
were USB20, and the result is the same.
All my USB disks has some LED indicator, one disk has LED with two
colours to indicate read/write access. LED inidicator is activeted when
disk is pluged to USB port and in many cases it blinks when USB disk is
read/written.
When I do "remove" in Windows, I receive message like "It is safe to
remove your USB disk from the system now". And LED indicator on the USB
flash disk is switch off. I like that LED indicator is switch off. It is
very useful in the case you have several USB disks connected to your
system in the same time. When you see that LED is switch off, you know
that it is safe to remove USB disk.
When I do umount in Ubuntu (or eject in Gnome), LED inidicator on USB is
still power on. That is not good, as there is no indication on the USB
flash disk that it is safe to remove.
My guess is that this behavoir is more kernel related than Ubuntu/GNOME
related.
