Title:
usb hard drive does not enter standby mode before shutdown
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I'm testing the new intrepid (kubuntu)
I have a USB external hard drive connected to my laptop, and I think
linux is supposed to make hard drives go to sleep (standby mode)
before turning the power off. Apparently it does not for the USB
drive, since I can hear an unpleasant 'click' when the laptop powers
off.
(It's the same click when you turn off a laptop by pressing the power
button for a long time, in case everything hangs)
I'm quite afraid it could damage the hard drive if repeated
frequently.
Of course I could do sleep the HD manually by hdparm -Y /dev/sdb but it's
impossible for me because I would like to boot ubuntu on this volume, so the
hard drive is needed until the last operation.
