Earlier today, I read this:

However, I can not get his solution to work. "scsiadd -r" does not spin down the drive or remove the mount point. It does 'detach' the mount point, so ls-ing the mount point turns up an empty directory. I still have to umount and it still makes the horrible sound when unplugging the drive.
I was able to spin down the drive with
sdparm --command=stop /dev/sdb
sdparm --command=stop /dev/sdb
umount /mnt/sdb1
but I am not sure how safe this is. Also unsure why two sdparm calls are needed.
