wake-on-demand and shutdown on inactivity ?
First question : Is it possible to use something like wake-on-demand (Apple Bonjour service has that) with the ReadyNAS ? I use my NAS for my medias file. But each time i want to access a media,...
PC/NAS interchangeable. The NAS is just a specialized PC. Wake-on-LAN would work for either.
There is no script that I know of at the moment, one would have to be written by someone.
It shouldn't be that hard to do, I may even later it later if I feel up to it. Just need to look at the age of /ramfs/spindown, and if the values are :1 in there. For example, this is my NAS, and the disks have been spun down since 9:30AM:

# ls -l /ramfs/spindownCould shut the system off after say 4 hours of spin-down mode. Then you need something to trigger it to power back on. Either a router that has that option (my ASUS does, NTGR ones don't so far), or run a WOL app from your PC/Phone to wake it. Then it would take ~1 minute or so to boot up before you could access it.
