Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS@Raspbian - wake up external USB HD attached to router
I've set up the cifs mount thru Webmin and provided extra information like server IP and workgroup. Since then everything is working fine.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS@Raspbian - wake up external USB HD attached to router
I'm not sure disabling spindown is much of an option on recent drives. In general there are 2 possible strategies: a) enforce system state: don't let the drive slide into sleep, b) go stateless: try to reconnect every time you need the drive. As already said by drmatt, first place to look for solutions are mount/system options on the Pi and on the router. If nothing helps, some add-on or changes to the client can be made: - run (on the server or the client) a script that regularly runs "touch" on a dummy file, accesses a web page on that drive, etc. Beware of caches which will try to avoid drive spinup. And perhaps finally link this keep-alive script to LMS usage via SrvPowerControl plugin. - switch the client to automounting with a short dismount timeout (less than the HDD timeout). A mount is expected by the O.S. to take some time, so it is more of a blocking call. Upon accessing the library, rather than being swiftly returned by the O.S., LMS would be blocked until the OS has something to return. For a robust system I would recommend the stateless way. With a stateful system if the drive (or router, or link between hosts) goes away your client will hang until it is back; useful for a thin-client workstation but not much else. (Not mentioning the case where the client doesn't hang, but crashes...)

You could mount the pi0 on the hub and mount the hub on the HDD... You may also be able to disable spin down altogether if you plug the HDD into the pi and send it some ioctls using hdparm or similar. -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS@Raspbian - wake up external USB HD attached to router
Not the job of the Pi to wake the HDD, it's the job of whichever device has it mounted. Any file reference via e.g. NFS or CIFS should cause the fritzbox to wake the HDD. It may not wake in time of course and the Pi might timeout the action.. I would connect it to the pi via a powered hub. -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.
