Hello When I power off the system (with poweroff) the connected USB HDD makes a noise that comes from the heads. A distinct clicking noise.
Does the external USB eventually power down or continue spinning?
I wanted to know if there is a way, when powering off the system, any usb hdd drive that is connected to the system be stopped properly, and the disk heads are parked?
You can look at https://man.netbsd.org/atactl.8 and perhaps do something like this: 1. Unmount it. 2. Sleep it. 3. Power off the system. You could achieve this with a script. Cheers Mark.
