I want to powerdown my ide harddisk completly. I'm booting from a usb
stick so the IDE disk is CONSUMING... I have an old laptop so I'd like
to preserver as much as possible.

I tried hdparm -Y /dev/sda but hdparm -C /dev/sda reports it's only in
standby...
And actually I can hear it spinning... It must be possible to power it
down completly no?

Any ideas?

How about unmounting the device?

powertop may give some hints.
