Kong - Feature request scsi-stop

Hi Kong,

Is it possible for you to integrate scsi-stop as described here: http://tomatousb.org/tut:spin-down-usb-disks-when-not-used into your DD-WRT custom compilations?

I would love to use your version of DD-WRT modifications however when I have previously used this I can never spin down the attached USB HDD after a period of inactivity. Presently this feature does not seem to work in DD-WRT based firmwares.

I could then put SWAP and /opt on a flash drive sda and spin down 2TB sdb on /mnt after a period of inactivity.

Many thanks, Chris.

Does this solution with sysfs:

work for you? I usually have a stick attached so I cannot always test this.

Hi Kong, yes this works well

Hi Kong, yes this works well - thanks for this.

The only strange thing is that when I previously used sd-idle it would spin up the drive in 10 seconds whereas with the sysfs it seems to take 5 minutes upwards.
