This text is copied from the Github report I made instances ago.
My external HDD is not parker/spundown as the system shutsdown.
##### Expected Behavior
I select "Shutdown" and the system parks the external hdd normally.
##### Current Behavior
I select "Shutdown" and it abruptly shuts the system down seconds thereafter,
not even parking/spinning the hdd down. This ruins the disc.
##### Possible Solution
Perhaps change the shutdown scripts to park all the discs first?
umount /media/<user>/*
umount /dev/sd*
hdparm -y /dev/sd*
##### Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
1. Press super
2. Shutdown
3. wait
4. hear the fast SQUEAK from the HDD.
##### Context
This ruins the hdd. Also, it is my main hdd (for work data) and I typically
shut the system down right after I finish using it.
##### System Information
* Distribution & Version: Lubuntu 18.04 (as it came)
** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
