Gravelrash, The nice thing about hd-idle is that even if someone is login and in the directory of the harddrive (idle) or in the folder explorer, the hard drive can still go to sleep. HDparm will not put the drive to sleep if there is active session and no activity.by stormlight - Debian
I forgot to follow up with this post. Apparently, the free driver only work with 86 and x86-64 architectures and kernel from 2.6.36 up to 3.14.x Tomatousb use 2.6 kernel. I tried to crosspile for armel but it exits the compiler with an "unexpected" error. If I understand correctly, because Asus/Netgear default come with Tuxera/Paragon driver, they can include it in TomatoUSB. Parby stormlight - Debian
So the recent Tomato Shibby builds are using Paragon NTFS driver and the write performance is ~15% faster than ext3 file system. I tested with Asus RT-AC68U (ARM based router). Paragon has the Express version free for home user/private testing. I am wondering have anyone tried it on Kirkwood or Oxnas? Paragon NTFS Driver Please share your thoughts and results. Result: Asus RT-AC68U (80by stormlight - Debian
Thank you Bhodi! So I learned how to compile hd-idle from source. :-) Noob in action. I attached the pre-compile for Oxnas. I have not tested on Kirkwood. cp hd-idle_1.05_armel.deb /tmp cd /tmp #install package dpkg -i hd-idle_1.05_armel.deb #enable/edit service configuration nano /etc/default/hd-idle change: START_HD_IDLE=false To: START_HD_IDLE=True change: #HD_IDLE_OPby stormlight - Debian
Is there an hard idle tool? Archlinux has hd-idle package. OpenWRT has sd-idle. Is there one for Debian Arm? I performed 'apt-cache search idle' but do not any proper package. Online search has limited results.by stormlight - Debian
