https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205107 Bug ID: 205107 Summary: No HDD spindown/parking on shutdown Product: IO/Storage Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 5.0.0-25-generic Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: P1 Component: IDE Assignee: io_ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: helder.armando@xxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No Created attachment 285371 --> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=285371&action=edit SDB SMART log Greetings, I've got an external Toshiba HDD in good conditions (USB 3.0 cable on USB 2.0 port) that I use to store backups and my work in. Every time the system shuts down (either by terminal command or regular OS UI), the system does not wait for the hdd to park/spin down (as seen by the systemd logs), and instead, cuts the power off too early, making the disc make an acute screeching sound as if by hard power cutoff. I believe the same thing is happening to my internal hdd (second one on linux, previous one was old and had the same problem), but I can't be sure as the sound isn't too clear. I have reported this bug to the distribution's bug tracker (Lubuntu) and systemd, but I was requested to come here instead, as the problem must be down to the kernel. I have tested this on Linux Mint and the same has happened. As additional information, both on Windows 10 and FreeBSD, this problem did not occur. I'll attach smartctl logs for both HDDs. The logs say old_age and pre_fail, but this is most likely not true, as I have bought them recently and smartctl doesn't seem to be that smart at times. I await your reply, Hélder -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
