["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Vu Ngoc San, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

  I'm testing the new intrepid (kubuntu)
  
  I have a USB external hard drive connected to my laptop, and I think
  linux is supposed to make hard drives go to sleep (standby mode) before
  turning the power off. Apparently it does not for the USB drive, since I
  can hear an unpleasant 'click' when the laptop powers off.
  
  (It's the same click when you turn off a laptop by pressing the power
  button for a long time, in case everything hangs)
  
  I'm quite afraid it could damage the hard drive if repeated frequently.
  
- Of course I could do sleep the HD manually by hdparm -Y /dev/sdb but
- it's impossible for me because I would like to boot ubuntu on this
- volume, so the hard drive is needed until the last operation.
