Description of problem: USB stick's light starts flashing as soon as LUC is launched, and doesn't stop until LUC has been quit. So it's kinda confusing whether it's really done writing, or what it's doing while this is happening. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert USB stick 2. Launch LUC 3. Quit LUC Actual results: Light on USB stick flashes the entire time, with the same flashing pattern, while LUC is running, whether it's reading or writing or doing nothing to the stick (that I'm aware of). As soon as LUC is quit, the flashing stops. Expected results: Light flashes only when LUC is reading or writing to/from stick. Additional info: Microsoft has a USB installer creation tool and it doesn't behave this way in the same setup. So I'm skeptical this problem is an artifact of it being Windows running in a libvirt/virt-manager VM, but maybe it's related.
Really low priority on my list now but thanks for noticing. Seems there are some unnecessary reads worth fixing in the future.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
