After upgrading to Xfce 4.14, my external USB drive does not stay spinned down anymore.

Disabling volume management in Thunar does not fix it.

The new xfce4-meta installed thunar-volman, which forces +udisks on gnome-base/gvfs and xfce-base/thunar, which is the cause of the problem, I think.

After removing udisks flag from those 2 packages and uninstalling thunar-volman, my USB drive behaves as before.

If you have a problem with gvfs or volman, or whatever, file a bug there.  The metapackage is not supposed to work as universal workaround for all problems.
