Hmm... what kind of backing device? Because I have Crucial/Micron M500 SSDs here that _always_ complain (in a SMART counter/attribute) that they have been subject to a sudden poweroff *when subject to a normal system shutdown*. This is scaring me a great deal. Are we doing something different for SSDs in the scsi-sd or libata shutdown paths? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
