Don't know about VB specifics, but in general, the hdd where the system's logs are located won't spin down, as they will be written to every n minutes. Install 'this' (http://www.samwel.tk/laptop_mode/) (or something equivalent) if you want a different behavior. If not, how do I shut the netbook down other than holding down the power button?

See here: http://woodystime.blogspot.com/2013/05/vortex-box-add-external-usb-drive-in.html Jim Thanks, I'll have a go at this at weekend, meanwhile I've slimmed down my library to fit on the internal HDD, working very well. Couple of questions: Is the HDD supposed to spin down when not in use? I left the netbook switched on overnight, this morning it was still making a high pitched whine, and was very warm, must've been running all night? If not, how do I shut the netbook down other than holding down the power button? kidstypike 1xSB3 - 1xBoom - 1x(Squeezebox) Radio - 2xTouch kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99324 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
