Confirm the same on a Toshiba M55-S3314 laptop. On quitting, the hd makes a sort of "dying beep" sound, very rapid, as it powers off. I didn't realize it was the hd stopping abrubtly, but it also did it with Breezy, Dapper, and now with Edgy, so it's not a new problem.
Does NOT do it under windows XP. This is bad...I may have to stop using linux until this one is resolved...I don't want to damage my hd... -- Unsafe HDD (bad noise) spin down when shutting down Edgy Eft https://launchpad.net/bugs/68660 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
