I have an external hard drive at `/dev/sdb`. I can successfully unmount it either via the Thunar GUI or via this command: `udisksctl unmount --block-device /dev/sdb`. However, the external hard drive keeps spinning after an unmount. To completely shut it down, I either use the Thunar "Eject" button or the command: `udisksctl power-off --block-device /dev/sdb`. In both cases, the drive powers off successfully and I hear it spin down until it stops (This is possibly a fan and not the drive itself, but I doubt this is relevant), but immediately afterwards, it powers up, gets re-detected by the system, gets auto-mounted, and starts spinning once again. - How can I resolve this? - Is unmount alone without eject/poweroff enough to keep my drive healthy?
