I'd like to shut down the server too. But this seemed too complicated for 
a noob like me ;-)
On the server there's a MythBackend, Logitech Media Server, content for 
XBMC and apache. All of them need to be checked so that the server 
doesn't shut when it shouldn't.
It seemed that putting the unused discs to sleep would be easier.

I don't know if I can check whether the raid is in use or not because it 
serves content for XBMC, Logitech Media Server and apache.


Thanks again
