Public bug reported:

I'm on Ubuntu 8.04

The unmount of the "Western Digital My book" (1 To, "Essential edition"
in my case) doesn't shut down it as expected.

Here are the specifications:

When unmounting on Windows (XP), the hd shuts down itself. It is not
needed to unplug the device. However, on Ubuntu, the unmount doesn't
turn it off : it unmounts, but the light showing the device is on use
stays turned on.

That's quite an issue, as this external hard disk doesn't have any kind
of manul switch; I have to manually unplug it.
