But not the avarage ATA, at least not the ones I'm familiar with.
Plus David makes it clear the system has booted at the time the error
occurs, so unless the drive is actual _spun_down_...

I imagine though it's the first write, although, again, you won't get
the progress messages in that sequence unless the disk has been
checked and, in the case of a power failure, it usually takes a while
to get past the "check".
