Spindown scsi disk in OpenSlug   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #8282 of 24143 |
Hi
I have build scsi-idle package for spindown scsi disk in Nslu2 with
OpenSlug. I upload tarbal with package sources
scsi-idle.OE.package.tar.bz2 avaliable in Custom Executables.
For run scsi-idle demon is required kernel compiled with patch
kernel-patch-scsi-idle (also avaliable in Custom Executable)
After building and instaling scsi-idle*.ipk you should configure
/etc/default/scsi-idle for set scasi devise and timeout.
It is project ported from debian to OpenEmbended. I have made only
kernel-patch-scsi-idle for 2.6 kernel.
btw I have tested on kernel 2.6.12 only

Demsey
