I have a network share (NFS) on WD My Book Live which is configured as one of the folders in XBMC. I see that now my MBL does not sleep! even if I am not using XBMC.

Is there a way to make this access on need basis. I am sure the watchdog is polling constantly to get new updates from the NFS share.

Please guide how can I disable this

Over network polling is the only option. Whether the disk will go to sleep is entirely controlled by the os, and will probably be different. All I've tested on is my linux server and there the entire filesystem is cached and polling will not spin up the disks.

I used watchdog on my raspberry pi (raspbcm) and it worked great from the start but now i switched to a minix neo x5 mini with android and i get error notification saying "script failed! ervice.py" as soon as i install the addon.

When i start xbmc i get the notification and when I reinstall it it pops up again, here is the log.

I would appreciate any input on this thx =)

That's not what the log says. I can't see any error thrown by the script. What it says is that watchdog tries to initialize for "ftp://USER:[email protected]:21201/rtorrent/downloads/Movies/" but use a very long time (either it's offline or incredible large or slow), then before it's finished you stop the addon. That probably cause a message in the gui, and may have prevented xbmc from shutting down later on as well.
