Ah, hm. Interesting. Maybe it does want OS support, then. Have you tried 
it in the Leading Brand OS?

You possibly don't want to do that if there's a mounted bay device in 
the dock.

We really need to determine some sort of policy when it comes to mounted

suspend/resume. Do we support this configuration (by not killing the 
mount point), or do we prevent users from shooting themselves in the 
foot?
