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
