Hi all, Is there a tool under FreeBSD 6.2 that properly stops a USB device, equivalent to Windows XPs Safely Remove Hardware? I noticed that Windows sends a IRP_MN_REMOVE_DEVICE command, after which my LaCie external HDD spins down. Same applies to any USB stick: the light goes out on the stick. I would like to do this under FreeBSD too. camcontrol eject or stop don't do anything. So, the question really is: how to send a IRP_MN_REMOVE_DEVICE command? Thanks, Sven
