I think this bug needs to be split into two, one that focusses on the usability issue to have some eject mechanism to properly spin down external drives, and one that focusses on the udev/sdparm no longer work issue.
** Summary changed: - not proper dismounting for WD passport harddrive (making noise when unplug) + WD external drives need to be spun down, "sdparm --command=stop" doesn't work any more -- WD external drives need to be spun down, "sdparm --command=stop" doesn't work any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
