VU+Solo Hard drive constantly running

[Alanp]

I have installed a usb hard drive on my solo and set up the directory for media/usb/movie, timeshift and recording are working fine. My picons and epg data are on a usb stick and not the hard drive i have set the hardisk to go into standby after 2 mins. So the issue I have is the Hard drive is constantly running even when the box is in standby ? Thanks in advance

It would run as it's spin down is controlled by the USB housing rather than the solo but then normal housing spindown any way

Also I would advise adding it as media/hdd instead

Changed it to media/hdd but it still spins it starts spinning as soon as you connect the power supply to it, Is this normal ? @ silverfox I am sure I remember from somewhere you had yours set up to use the duo's hdd on a share how did this work out and was this easy to set up Thanks Alan
