I believe it runs on suspend, but we don't run that code on normal

Tejun Heo had a patch for sd that could (optionally) trigger a START
STOP UNIT command to spin the disk down after synchronizing the cache
before shutdown, but I haven't heard anything of it lately..
Was this?

Not ready for inclusion yet? Tomorrow i'll give it a try, hoping it
will apply to my conf. My actually shutdown procedure is to reboot on
windows Xp and shutdown from there...
Hi, I just wanted to say that I'm another user having this issue. I
have a Toshiba M55-S3314 which is also making the same noise on
shutdown. I have heard it from Ubuntu 5.04 on to Feisty Fawn Herd 4
(which is using the 2.6.20-9 kernel). I had installed the newest
version of Sidux the other night, with the 2.6.20 kernel, and it didn't
seem to do it. But then I tried it with Feisty, and at first, it didn't
do it. Then I suspended the unit, and it came back fine; then I
hibernated the unit; it came up ok, but after that, it's making the
noise again every time. So I have no idea what's causing this.
I hope that somebody can figure this one out...for the first time since
1998, I can't use linux on my machine! :-( I can't afford to sacrifice
my hard drive... I'm not a programmer, but I'll be more than happy to
try out stuff if anybody wants me to, or give logs or whatever. Just
tell me what you want and how to get it!
Thanks,
Dan
