Bug Description
When shutting down, my harddisk is not properly powered off before or spun down, so that it gives a sqeeking sound, when the shutdown process actually powers down the machine.
Additionally, the smartmontools show me an increasing Power-Off_
The harddisk is the second drive in my machine, mounted at /mnt/sdb1, where from that directory, /tmp, /home, /var/lib/munin, /var/cache/munin and /var/lib/mythtv, are mounted by bindmounts.
I've already tried to patch /etc/init.d/halt by adding the following lines:
hdparm -f /dev/sdb
sleep 5
hdparm -y /dev/sdb
sleep 5
log_action_msg "/dev/sdb spun down"
but that only leads to the fact, that the disk indeed spins down during the shutdown process, but at the very end, spins up again, just before the power supply switches off.
