[Bug 90097] USB memory stick light stays on after "safely remove" (and 'sync'/'sudo umount') (KDE)

[kko]

Public bug reported:

Hello.

I didn't know whether to file this against 'dbus', 'hal', or some other
package. Since I am on Kubuntu Dapper, I decided on 'kubuntu-meta'. (I
hope I haven't misunderstood the purpose of that package.) However, it
seems probable that the same issue is present also when using Gnome.

After I "safely remove" a USB memory device, the device light isn't
turned off, as would be expected. My question is, which process is /
should be responsible for powering off the USB stick?

If the physical device would show that it was powered off after a "safe
remove", trusting the process not to cause data loss (see bug #61946)
would be a lot easier.

** Affects: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
