Title:
  usb hard drive does not enter standby mode before shutdown

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  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.
