Title:
  WD external drives need to be spun down, "sdparm --command=stop"
  doesn't work any more

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Try to dismount a USB external Western digital passport harddrive , it
  will be ok but the cylinders will be still rotating , then if you
  unplug your hardrrive it'll do a strange noise like a violent hard
  drive parking. ( in Microsoft windows the eject the device safely
  option stop the heads ) at the moment the only solution to stop
  properly the hard drive is tu use sdparm , here is the script :

  #!/bin/sh
  WD=/dev/sdb1
  sudo umount $WD
  if [ $? -eq 0 ]
  then
  	echo Stopping heads
          #Stop properly the heads and cylinders
  	sdparm --command=stop $WD 
  else
  	echo Unmount Failed !
  fi
