Ok. The user doesn't know this.

Good point.

The user doesn't know this. At a guess, nobody other than you does.

Now I could wonder whether you're making a fool of yourself.
Considering the frequency with which you post "RTFM" style replies, I
would have expected to read in the man page for gracetime= "... the
minimum is 2 seconds because ...". It's not there, I checked before I
posted. If users repeatedly bring up this issue then that simply is a
sign that the useability of the software should be improved. For
example, calling the first 2 seconds "waiting for drive to initialise"
and then starting with a minimum of 0 would have made things clear.
Coding the latter would have taken you less time then bitching about
having to answer the same thing repeatedly. Friendlier and more
productive too.
