Hal checks every second (or every 2, dunno exactly) if there is a media change
on the driver, this could be the reason your seeing that behaviour. On my
usbstick is see the light flash everytime hal polls :)
The right way is to unmount the driver before pulling it out. When the umount
is finished the data should be safely on the drive.
