How to stop USB-HDD?
Hi,
There is the following minor issue with USB-harddrive:
On windows: when i perform "safely remove" disk is stopped (hdd head is parking) & it is not spinning (but it is still connected to USB)
On Linux (Fedora 14, OpenSUSE): when i perform "umount", HDD is still spinning.
Could you please provide any info on how to stop disk when it is not used.
