I have two USB drives on my system, and one of them takes about
30 seconds to spin up. It is very annoying when I'm rebooting the
system but it decides it has to spin up the unmounted drive
before it can finish. I can understand the need to scan everything
when it boots up, but can't imagine why it needs to scan everything
on the way down.
I'm not aware of it scanning on the way down. My problem is that it
scans a drive that it isn't going to need until something mounts it,
and makes everything else wait till it finishes. There doesn't appear
to be something analogous to the NFS "soft-mount" option.
