Yes, AFAIK this is an automatic feature of all IDE drives.

Hmmm, I don't know. xt.i contains support for the
non-IDE HD block device, but I have no idea whether
this includes parking. My guess would be: probably not.
It's not a big issue (it will be a very rare bird that
runs Linux on an old XT HD). If you want to protect the
HD, just reset to DOS and run the park utility before
powering down.
Cheers,
