External USB hard disk standby problem

    Hi,
    My Vu+ Solo 4k is now up and running with oscam and I have established a favorite channel list. I have attached a USB hard disk, an Intenso Memory Center 5 TB with USB3.0. The hard disk works and I have made a couple of recordings to test it. So basically I am ready to go.


    But the hard disk does not go into standby. The setting is set to 10 minutes (as the default), but the hard disk just keeps spinning.
    Is there an issue with this in the Vu+ Solo 4k, in the Black Hole 3.0.0 firmware or could it be the hard disk? Or a missing setting somewhere?

    As follows :-


    Press Blue button twice on the Remote Control and select the Devices Manger


    After selecting Devices Manager you see any partitions made on usb stick are not mapped. Press the Red button


    Now you can select which devices you want to mount, just highlight the device with the up/down buttons and press the left/right buttons to choose how you want it mounted (you want to select hdd)) then just press the Red button to save this mount


    Now the box will ask you to reboot so it can create this mount. Once the box has rebooted, check the device manager - you may have to initialise the drive - but be careful as anything already on the drive will be lost!!!




    Failing that - you can do it manually by following this tut - http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=10390

    Thanks for your reply.


    I tried the first method, selecting media/hdd and the system rebooted. It didn't initialise the drive, so the recordings are still there as before. But it still doesn't go into standby.
    The LED on the hard disk keeps flashing and it sounds like there is some activity. Could something keep it active?

    Just a moment ago the disk went into standby mode. So it seems like it is now OK after all.
    Thanks for your help.
