I am starting to use flash drive s with no led activity indicator.
In my scripts that write to them, I am able to umount then watch
the blinking lights to make sure it is done before removing them
But with no led indicator, how can I test from my script to
make sure it is done writing?
When the umount is complete, it is safe to remove.
Not with the led light flashing!!!!
If the LED is still flashing then it's the stick having a delay before
turning it off or some other USB bus activity. When the umount returns,
everything is flushed. I guarantee that when Gnome says you can remove
the stick, it's because the umount call returned. Do a Google search
for "does umount sync" and see
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.os.linux.development.apps/8QDlM7hw0pE
for your specific question.
