Hi Paul I wondered if the spin down is actually causing problems? I have mine deliberately set to spin down - to save power. I find it just spins up when I access it. The only thing I needed to change was to set the wait time in PCP to 10 seconds or so, so that pcp will mount the drive OK when I boot it - there's an option under Extras to do that. pete S ------------------------------------------------------------------------ psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113512 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
