Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2007 16:58:54 -0400 From: Casey Dahlin <cjdahlin@...u.edu> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: USB Key light on/off state depending on mount Most USB keys nowadays have a small LED somewhere inside of them that lights up when they are plugged in. On a windows box, the key is lit up whenever it is mounted, and as soon as it is unmounted it turns off, giving a handy physical indicator that the key is safe to remove. On linux, the light is simply on whenever the key is plugged in. Should linux toggle the light depending on mount state? Is it as trivial as it seems or does this reflect some larger issue? -Casey Dahlin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
