on some disks (like my maxtor) parking the head enables the head locking
mechanism which is disabled by cycling the power. If you have a HD window
open when you run park, gem will attempt to refresh the contents of the
window by reading the directory on the Hard Disk after park is done.

 Need I say more ?
