Re: Cannot remove flash memory


I'm not quite sure what the light means, but I ignore it, and haven't
had any problems whatsoever yet. I'm using gnome as opposed to kde, but
I doubt that makes any difference. So, I just make sure the device is
not mounted and then pull it off.

It means the same as the flashing light on the front of most PCs. The
drive is in use. If you remove it when the light is on you may lose or
corrupt data. The whole purpose of the light is to tell you that there
the memory is being written to or read from.

I cannot believe that. It is now 15 minutes since I pressed eject and
the light is still flashing. Unless, of course, eject is not the same as
unmount.
