Re: Cannot remove flash memory

Less than an hour ago I asked a friend and Linux Guru how do I remove
the USB Stick? I did not see a dismount command on the GUI. He said
just pull it out, just make sure you are not writing to it when you
remove it.

He said Linux is way ahead of Microsoft when it comes to Hot Swapping
devices. Cool!

I've always heard that one should never pull out a USB stick when the
led is lit or flashing. Does anybody else have a second opinion?

I am not familiar with the use of USB sticks but I do know, that if I
waited for the light to go out, I would never pull it out.
