[Bug 90097] Re: USB memory stick light stays on after "safely remove" (KDE)

[Wit Wilinski]

IMO turning off the LED on usb-storage device would involve patching the
kernel, so this bug should probably be reported upstream, not in
K/Ubuntu.

I use pretty stock Kubuntu system (just kernel is self-compiled) and
desktop icons for removable devices disappear _after_ umount finishes
(eg. i get an ugly dialog window with a progress bar at 0%, which then
suddenly changes to 100% after umount exits). At this point, all data is
flushed, so the device is safe to remove.

Tested with iPod Shuffle and 2.5" laptop drive in USB2 enclosure.
