After unmounting my Western Digital portable harddrive, the drive
continues to spin for 10 minutes, even if no data was written to the
drive, resulting in an awful "unsafe removal" noise when it is
unplugged. It seems like the hard drive heads aren't syncing. After
posting on the forums, a solution was found with a nautilus script.
