spinning up before shutting down
by Sploog from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52ZWD)
My system runs mostly from SSD but I have two hard drives mounted as follows:
/dev/sdb1 /Photographs ext4 rw,relatime 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /Ddrive fuseblk rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0
The are both set to spin down after a period of no use.
My problem is, when I shut the system down it has to spin up sdb1, the
ext4 formatted drive before shutdown completes. I am not so worried
about the time that takes, but more concerned not to wear out the disk
doing nothing useful.
sdc1, the ntfs drive, doesn't have the same problem. I am guessing
that the ext4 system software wants to write to sdc1 that it has
shut down cleanly. Is there a way to prevent that, or even better,
avoid spinning up the drive until the first time I use it (which
is often not at all in any given day).
Thanks for any help you can give. It is debian 10 by the way.
