I think this is the expected behavior of journalling file systems. When you unmount a writable file system, the file system needs to write out a marker saying that it was shut down "cleanly" and doesn't need a journal recovery on the next mount.
Perhaps a file system could detect that it's been idle for some period and mark itself clean automatically. For the feasibility of this, you should contact NTFS-3G developers instead. Maybe assign to ntfs-3g? ** Tags added: ntfs-3g unmount -- "Safely remove drive" is waking-up my external HD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539064 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
