Thanks! That works! [And I can see the logic behind it, even, from a
firmware point of view.]
I should be able to automate the eject command through devd, I think.
It would be nice to put something in the tree that would do that, but
being sure not to catch cases you'd want such a feature would be
error-prone.
I'll move forward on making MTP more convenient on FreeBSD. A lot of
devices are starting to force it on us, and it keeps the device usable
while the computer is accessing its files.
Thanks again!
Be well.
Lowell
