Hello everybody!

I managed to have my SNAKE OS V1.3.2 (20101130) box patched with the followings:
1- USB port leds work.
2- Frees up system memory every 20 mins.
2- Checks attached USB hard disk(s)every 20 mins. and spins them down if they 
are idling.

All you need to do is:
1- Download attached etc.tar.gz file to your USB disk.
2- Change your directory to that file.
   cd /usb/<MOUNT_NAME_OF_YOUR_DISK>/
3- tar xvf etc.tar.gz -C /

Good luck!

If everything goes well do not forget to save your config. So that changes 
remain permanent.

Hi should this work on SNAKE OS V1.2.0 (20100621) too? or only v1.3.2?

thanks.

I have not checked whether or not it works with SNAKE OS V1.2.0 (20100621). If 
it doesn't work you can reset your system to the default. Or the best solution, 
you may upgrade your NAS to SNAKE OS V1.3.2 (20101130). It works nicely with 
the latest firmware.

ok, I did the upgrade to V1.3.2, but I had to do a little change in the code of 
the usbleds script to make it work with my "All-in-1 Dual HDD Docking Station" 
(DealExtreme SKU31937).
I really appreciated the HDD spindown script! Now it keeps cool all the idle 
time.

With this little change my USB leds wok fine now (removed the second part of 
the if):

if [ -d /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1 ]
then
 printf "\x51" > /dev/nasleds 
# logger "USB1 led activated"
else
 printf "\x61" > /dev/nasleds 
# logger "USB1 led deactivated"
fi

if [ -d /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2 ]
then
 printf "\x52" > /dev/nasleds 
# logger "USB2 led activated"
else
 printf "\x62" > /dev/nasleds 
# logger "USB2 led deactivated"

Great job! thank you!
(now just need to improve the wifi hang issue....)

Hi, just an update, all my "WiFi hang issues" was solved after I replaced my 
router with the Assus RT-N56U dual band router. This baby is awesome!

regards,

Adriel.

Where can I write the "tar xvf etc.tar.gz -C" which can be seen in comment #1
I have cumputers with windows. Can this command run via snake-os?
