Spindown works on USB when enabled for internal HDD.
Transmission works. But I can't change the download directory. It's greyed out in Transmissions settings?
@Elnef Port 80 if it is the standard web interface.
Quick testing:
Image doesn’t fit on 4GB SD card (tried 3 different ones). 8GB worked fine.
The automounting doesn’t always work. It seem to depend a bit on the filesystem. Eventually I got it to recognise the USB stick and automount it, without resorting to SSH.
The HDD is of course quite large and the system seem to have some issues with the amount of cylinders/blocks or whatever. Apart from this though, the disk was not automounted by the system at all. It was recognised as in I could check the SMART values but nothing more.
After a SSH-session and formating the drive to ext4, not mounting it, it was automounted after a reboot. The free space does however fluctuate a bit. Sometimes I have 1,8TB. Sometimes roughly 700GB. And sometimes 0GB “free”. As of writing I haven’t troubleshooted this fully yet.
Another thing. The system never lists the disks under “USB disks”, even those that have been correctly automounted. I’m guessing this is where you’re supposed to be able to format it/mount it and such.
Suggestions:
Not that important: Autoresize the internal share to whatever the SD card can hold. Keep a warning though as to using it as a share. But people might want to use i, so let them.
The firmware is on Arch Linux right? Lightweight as that might be, are there any hardware compatibility pros to using Raspbian maybe? Support for more hardware? Bigger disks? I dunno. Just saying. Raspbian isn’t that big? I already need to use a 8GB card ;) You can set the memory allocation in raspbian for headless use.
