[Grml] how to turn off / control the usb led display?

[Andri Handoko]

Hi Moritz,
  What is the brand and model of the USB stick that you use?  Mine doesn't
work with the eject command. I was able to switch usb sandisk cruzer stick
led off by "rmmod usb_storage". See my previous post for detail.

Cheers
Andri
