@ssergeje: Thanks for the reply. When I safely remove the drive using the device notifier plasmoid or the dolphin function, i hear the drive "doint something", but it doesn't spin down. But it doesn't make that "spindown-and-up-again" noise either liken when I use the script.
When I unplug the disk, it makes that "power-retract" noise, emergency- parking the heads. So it evidently doesn't get spun down using UI tools. -- WD external drives need to be spun down, "sdparm --command=stop" doesn't work any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
