Yes. > is it off when no io running? No. It is on when there is no activity, but that is how it has always been. Same as the LAN led which is also always on when there is a connection and blinks on activity. I don't know if that's how that's intended, but IMHO it makes sense for an embedded device to have the led on by default to show the device is "present and recognized" and to blink when there is activity.
