Spin Down/ Standby option in config file #22

Hi,

I cannot find any option to spin down or standby the hard drive. Do you know if there is an option or alternative that usbmount implements within his configuration file?

Best regards

There is no such option nor any alternative implementations in usbmount. usbmount does not manage the disk operations itself, it simply asks for the disk to be mounted when it is inserted. It has no way of knowing if/when the system is done with the disk and it is not notified of the presence(or absence) of IO operations so it cannot un-mount automatically.
