Here is what I did: 1) kill hal 2) insert usb stick -> led lights 3): echo -n 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/autosuspend echo -n auto > /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/level 4) wait Nothing happens, where as sending "suspend" to power/level does turn the led off. Now call me naive, but I would expect a mass-storage devices with no partitions mounted to autosuspend when autosuspend is enabled for that device. And yes I'm pretty sure nothing else is talking to the device. As usual keep please me CC-ed as I'm not on the list.
