Make sure you read http://linux-ata.org/shutdown.html

There is a patch that I use partially:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-sysvinit-commits/2007-June.txt

I expected this patch would soon be available in testing version of
sysvinit, but it has not arrived yet. It seems that there are some
issues to be resolved. See:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=426224#17

My understanding is that if all you have are sata drives then it is
safe to apply the above patch. But I am not sure.

This is on my todo list. I almost forgot about it.
