This is a bit of a technical spinoff, but the device *should* turn their
lights off if the software is written properly. Note that "umount" does
not turn off the device, but "eject" does (by sending the ioctl
CDROM_EJECT, to any device and not just cdroms ). I am not sure if that
is a bug to submit at nautilus, gnome-device-manager, pumount or what,
but if any of you knows, please do
