Securely removing a USB pendrive
Hi,
Presently I am working with QNX 6.3.0 SP3.
When I connect a pendrive to the USB port, QNX kindly recognises it, mounting it under the /fs/hd10-dos-1 folder. As it
recognizes, the pendrive led goes on. This is fine.
Once finished with the pendrive, I wonder how I could securely remove the pendrive from the USB port, without loosing
buffered data.
I have checked to unmount the device, but the pendrive led does not goes off. I guess that removing the pendrive while
its led is lid on could damage data.
However, killing the io-usb process, the led goes off, but if later I want to connect another usb pendrive, QNx does not
automatically detects it anymore. Also this metohd requires root privileges.
I would like something more practical, like in MS Windows.
Cheers,
Ramon
