<blockquote cite="mid:4908AF4E.9040207@anselmi.us" type="cite">On a
whim I tried sdparm on my flash drive. None of the commands did
anything, except for eject, which caused the device node to disappear
(udev's doing, I'm sure). So that's interesting to know, although the
light on the flash drive stayed on :-(
