Hey all,
I've been having this strange issue with USB external drives (hard disks/MP3 players etc.) for a while now. I couldn't find anything on the forum about it, so my apologies if this has been discussed before.
My USB external drives appear to be unmounting themselves after around an hour of two of inactivity. I've seen this both with Fedora 7 and 8, with the last few 2.6.23 kernels. Has anyone else run into this?
Some relevant snippets from /var/log/messages for a recent episode of this:

As you can see, the MP3 player dropped off the bus and appeared to unmount cleanly all by itself after around 2 hours or so. Does anyone know what's going on here?
