Hi, During shutdown (power off) the disks are stopped gracefully thus the stopping is skipped for reboot case. On my Acer Travelmate 660 reboot is more like power-off as it cuts all power during reboot which currently causes the disk to emergency-park its head (noisy and shortens disk life). This patch series adds a DMI-based check to ide-gd and sd to still stop the disks for affected laptop during reboot. Has been compile an run-tested with libata and just compile-tested for ide.
