Solution for USB drive to spindown on exit?
#1
I'm not an expert on Linux, so go easy please...

I'm running XBMC live and have an attached USB drive used as a video store. For the most part it works great.

On Suspend or Shut Down The external drive remains running - which is noisy and not ideal of course. I've seen posts on Ubuntu forums showing code that can be used to issue a spin down for an external drive. But is there a simple solution to this that can be implemented on XBMC Live?

Thanks.
