Public bug reported:
Try to dismount a USB external Western digital passport harddrive , it
will be ok but the cylinders will be still rotating , then if you unplug
your hardrrive it'll do a strange noise like a violent hard drive
parking. ( in Microsoft windows the eject the device safely option stop
the heads ) at the moment the only solution to stop properly the hard
drive is tu use sdparm , here is the script :
#!/bin/sh
WD=/dev/sdb1
sudo umount $WD
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo Stopping heads
#Stop properly the heads and cylinders
sdparm --command=stop $WD
else
echo Unmount Failed !
fi
