Bug Description
Hello.
I didn't know whether to file this against 'dbus', 'hal', or some other package. Since I am on Kubuntu Dapper, I decided on 'kubuntu-meta'. (I hope I haven't misunderstood the purpose of that package.) However, it seems probable that the same issue is present also when using Gnome.
After I "safely remove" a USB memory device (and 'sync', or instead of "safely removing" do 'sudo umount' for it), the device light isn't turned off, as would be expected. My question is, which process is / should be responsible for powering off the USB stick?
If the physical device would show that it was powered off after a "safe remove", trusting the process not to cause data loss (see bug #61946) would be a lot easier.
(I don't really expect 'sync' or 'sudo umount' to do anything to the light, they're included only to make sure that the device gets properly unmounted.)

Is this a problem with the sole USB stick (ie do others work fine) or is it a software issue?
Are there any issues with performance?
