SubjectRe: Weird hard disk noise on shutdown (bug #7674)
Digg This
Did anything ever come of this? We still have users complaining about this. Does this patch resolve the issue? I can't seem to load it up right now; the site says it is down for maintenance.

I believe it runs on suspend, but we don't run that code on normal shutdown, do we?

Tejun Heo had a patch for sd that could (optionally) trigger a START STOP UNIT command to spin the disk down after synchronizing the cache before shutdown, but I haven't heard anything of it lately..


Was this?

Not ready for inclusion yet? Tomorrow i'll give it a try, hoping it will apply to my conf. My actually shutdown procedure is to reboot on windows Xp and shutdown from there: i'm starting to become frustrated...
