Comment 13 for bug 242638

snowstar1963, does the hdd get powered down after unmounting the drive and pulling the lever? Mine doesn't. Although the system doesn't freeze the drive makes a nasty sound when unplugging :(

I'm not sure, but I think this came about after some updates, especially since the kernel got to version 2.6.27-6.

At the moment, I don't feel safe removing my 2nd hdd without doing:

# echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/X\:0\:0\:0/device/delete

(as root, not sudo)
