Public bug reported:

When shutting down, my harddisk is not properly powered off before or
spun down, so that it gives a sqeeking sound, when the shutdown process
actually powers down the machine.

Additionally, the smartmontools show me an increasing Power-
Off_Rectract_count (currently: 27).

The harddisk is the second drive in my machine, mounted at /mnt/sdb1,
where from that directory, /tmp, /home, /var/lib/munin, /var/cache/munin
and /var/lib/mythtv, are mounted by bindmounts.

I've already tried to patch /etc/init.d/halt by adding the following
lines:

	hdparm -f /dev/sdb
	sleep 5
	hdparm -y /dev/sdb
	sleep 5
	log_action_msg "/dev/sdb spun down"

but that only leads to the fact, that the disk indeed spins down during
the shutdown process, but at the very end, spins up again, just before
the power supply switches off.
