Peter, please do not apport-collect to another person's report, as you
are not the original reporter.

Linux Mint has a different procedure and location for tracking bug
reports. If you want to file a report against Mint, please do so via
their bug tracker located at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+filebug .

If you would like to file a bug in Ubuntu (not Mint), and so your problem and hardware may be tracked, please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into the default Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline one) via:
ubuntu-bug linux

For more on this, please read the official Ubuntu documentation:
Ubuntu Bug Control and Ubuntu Bug Squad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue
Ubuntu Kernel Team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Filing_Kernel_Bug_reports
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Policies/DuplicateBugs
Ubuntu Community: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette

When opening up the new report, please feel free to subscribe me to it.

As well, please do not announce in this report you created a new bug
report.

Thank you for your understanding.

  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

  then
  	echo Stopping heads
          #Stop properly the heads and cylinders
  	sdparm --command=stop $WD
