Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I have an external Western Digital hard-drive, with its own power
supply. After a while without reading\writing from\to it, the HD spins-
down (stops making noises) to save power, and wakes up again only when
being used again.
It have one partition, formated as ntfs.
The bug is that if the drive is "sleeping" and I left-click the HD icon
on the desktop and choosing "safley remove drive" from the menu, it
wakes-up (with the usual delay), and only then unmounts and powers-off.
The desired behavior is that the operating system will notice the HD is
sleeping, and will not wake it up just to unmount it. Instead it should
unmount it without waking it up.
This will overcome the noticeable delay and the power consumption of
waking-up the drive in vain.
