SBS preventing HDD shutdown ?
Last modified: 2009-10-29 11:42:55 UTC
Copied from Forum (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=474981) --------------------- Nevertheless, i observed one problem. The HDD standby was not working anymore. I went back to 7.3.4 and everything is ok. logging revealed, that Squeezecenter was responsible for the situation. A function 'extrastrings.json' was periodically active and responsible for the spinup of the HDD's --------------------- I wouldn't like a SBS where the HDD can't shutdown (or is woken up periodically ?)
Platform is in this case Linux on QNAP x86 based NAS (x39 series)
Same issue here on my QNAP TS-509 pro. HDD standby always workde fine with SSOTS 3.15 /w SC 7.3.4.
The problem also occurs on my WHS installation.
Same problem here. HDD has not spun down since installing SbS 7.4.0 - everything was OK with SC 7.3.x. The user who mentions 'extrastrings.json' is very knowledgeable in these matters so I would guess his suggestions are likely to be the cause of the problem. Using QNAP TS-509. Bob
Alos on my Linux QNAP box with ARM
Andy will look into this, and possibly fix in 7.4.x

Not fixed for me. Getting the following error written to log every 5 minutes: 0117: [09-10-28 13:49:24.2087] Slim::Utils::Misc::msg (1165) Warning: [13:49:24.2082] 'apps/shoutcast/index.html' is not the same as '(?-xism:apps/shoutcast/index.html)' at /share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/SSOTS/var/home/SqueezeboxServer/Slim/Web/Pages.pm line 131 Bob
Changes in Strings.pm solved the write problem of extrastrings.pm Changes in Pages.pm solved the problem, that the logfile is updated with respect to mysqueezbox problems, even if the logging is disabled Nevertheless, SbS keeps the drives spinning, as long as the login data is provided in the mysqueezebox.com tab in SbS An analysis brought up that still the extrastrings.json file is accessed every 5 minutes. But now, the timestamp is not changed anymore which leads to the conclusion, that it is read every 5 minutes.
