Lots of devices will shut down after userspace told it to power down. It was a feature request that Thunar and Nautilus added a year or so ago. Not all devices will do this, as their firmware does not support the powerdown command, which is why older devices do not act like this. If you don't like this, don't eject the device :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
