So this is the pop I hear on my new laptop that is using

is really my
drive head doing an emergency retract/park?
Yes, that would be what it is, and why.
I would vote that the sd stop-on-shutdown patch should go in, and
possibly with the new behavior enabled by default. Surely the number of
people running Linux on a laptop (or any other system with load/unload
head technology drives) is much greater than the number of people
running a SAN, multi-initiator, etc. environment where you might not
want this..
