The workflow would be quite different:
normal workflow:
- application needs file on sdb
- sdb spins up
- application can open the file
workflow with unmounted sdb:
- application needs file on sdb
- error message: no such file (or similar)
- user sees error message: "oh dear, the file is on sdb..."
- superuser needs to "add-single-device" and mount it
- user can continue with application

Even after "echo 0 >/sys/block/sdb/device/scsi_disk/2:0:0:0/manage_start_stop" ?
If there wasn't the "Synchronizing SCSI cache" at system resume, would
the disk spin up nevertheless?
