Well, that's interesting, about making sure it's stopped. I've asked here a month or two ago, and got no responses: my manager has me using pmount/pumount to mount the hard drives I'm putting in the eSATA drive bay for offline backups. Formerly, I used mount/umount, and when I umounted it, and walked downstairs, mostly, esp the green drives, were spun down. I pumount... and *nothing* spins down. They stay spinning, which is obvious, as I can feel the gyroscopic action as I pop them out immediately after hitting the button to turn off the power to the drive.

That box is running CentOS 7.

Just to note, `pmount' is an EPEL package, not a CentOS package.
