Secondary hard drive not spinning down on shutdown

Post by redcarred2 »

I have a linux mint, windows dualboot machine, version 21.3 UEFI boot w/ secure boot
When I power off my system, I hear my secondary drive (a HDD, /dev/sda, ST2000LM015, 2 partitions, /dev/sda1 ReFS, /dev/sda2 NTFS, neither auto-mounting) lose power and makes that typical hard drive power lost sound, one thing that I do notice is that sometimes my hard drive ramps up before powering off, my system has a primary NVMe, and it is a MSI GF63-10sc (MS-16R5), when powering off from windows this isn't present

Steps to Reproduce:
Have my iffy laptop
Power off linux
enjoy the sound of a dying hdd

Expected Behaviour:
Harddrive powers off without issue, when system shuts down

Actual behaviour:
Hard drive loses power on shutdown

potentially telling system journal segment:

I had the same issue in topic viewtopic.php?t=414181
Try to downgrade the kernel version from 6.5.0 to 6.2 and stick to it until bug patch mentioned in my topic is implemented in Linux Mint latest kernel
