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

With my USB stick, I can use "eject /dev/whatevermystickis" and then the LED turns off.
