Well. it does belong in bdflush. For time disks are spinned down I do no updates, so you do not spin disks back up unless you read from non-cached place on disks. I also do full sync before spinning disks down etc. It is very convient: you can actually work on machine with disks spinned down. [I developed software in such state.]
