Yes. noflushd 2.0 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/noflushd/) includes a
program in its contrib directory which will spin down a scsi disk. I
just tried to compile it and it
seems like it is written for 2.0.x kernels, changing the line which
contains SCSI_DISK_MAJOR to SCSI_DISK0_MAJOR will allow it to compile on
a 2.2.x kernel.
