Gargoyle Forum

Hello,

I have successfully installed Gargoyle 1.3.5 + samba3 + ntfs-3g on mine wzr-hp-g300ng. I have connected Buffalo DriveStation external hard drive and I can access mine files. If I connect this external drive to PC and don’t use it for about 5 minutes hdd goes to “sleep” mode and wakes up immediately when I use it. If I connect it to the router, then hdd never goes to “sleep” mode and it's always active. I don’t like it. Do You know how to fix it? Thanks.

Check that thread on OpenWRT about sleep mode

May have to install some external packages to get it to work.

I'll try this myself and see if I can get it to work.

Currently running 1.3.7 on a WZR-HP-G300NH

Thanks in advise DoesItMatter, but I'm getting errors with hdparm. So I used package hd-idle
that does the trick! Here 300 is seconds.

Hi,
But on the router restart hd-idle process disappear.
How I do : hd-idle process start automaticaly on router restart.
Thanks
