Public bug reported:

This text is copied from the Github report I made instances ago.
My external HDD is not parker/spundown as the system shutsdown.

##### Expected Behavior
I select "Shutdown" and the system parks the external hdd normally.

##### Current Behavior
I select "Shutdown" and it abruptly shuts the system down seconds thereafter, 
not even parking/spinning the hdd down. This ruins the disc.


##### Possible Solution
Perhaps change the shutdown scripts to park all the discs first?
umount /media/<user>/*
umount /dev/sd*
hdparm -y /dev/sd*

##### Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
1. Press super
2. Shutdown
3. wait
4. hear the fast SQUEAK from the HDD.

##### Context
This ruins the hdd. Also, it is my main hdd (for work data) and I typically 
shut the system down right after I finish using it.

##### System Information
* Distribution & Version: Lubuntu 18.04 (as it came)

** Affects: ubuntu
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
