bdflush can't work with ext3

I have converted my partitions to ext3 but I learnt the other day while trying to use bdflush to make the hdd spin down, that it won't work with ext3 partitions ecause ext3 partitions wrrite to disk every 5 seconds, the journal get written I mean. Is there no way to make the hdd spin down with ext3
