MBWE doesn't go to standby-mode.

[Batka]

I have a lot of 10-20GB sized files, and lot of small 10-20MB files too.

But I don't want to factory reset, because copy back my data would be 2 weeks...

At now I switch off manually, but this is not a solution.

I wrote an email to WD support, I hope they will answer next week.

Try a Factory Reset and write please!

Did factory reset again - everything is fine. This confirms your version about firmware. I agree it looks like a bug(s) there.

I switched off iTunes and Twonky and put 1Gig of mp3's - works fine.

I'll put the rest of the data by portions and write here and to the support. BTW I have no such big files.

Some update...

After putting more data (music - 40G, pics - 70G) the problem came back. I deleted all pics the problem 

disappeared.

The solution I found:

I used default "Public" folder before. Now I created different "Public1" and put media data (music, pics, video) there. So I put all data back but don't use default Public folder anymore. It works fine so far.

Hope this will help.

I have the solution!

My problem was the MIONET, which always run in the background. The only one possibility to stop mionet is following:

1. Enable SSH login in WD Discovery menu

2. Login with SSH (I used PUTTY under WinXP and just type the IP adress of your MBWE to login, then user name: "root"   /   password: "welc0me"   )

3. Use the builtin text editor named: "Vi"  and edit monitorCVM.sh script. Type:

vi /usr/mionet/monitorCVM.sh

 4. Add the following lines directly after the first set of comments (comments: # in the first character in the row) 

if [ ! -f "/etc/.mionet_on_startup"  ]; then
        exit 1
fi

 5. Save and Close the file:

First: push ESC button,

Second: type:

:wq

Third: push ENTER button.

6. Close SSH

7. Restart MBWE

AND VOILA! MY NAS WENT TO STANDBY AFTER 10 MINUTES!!!!!!!

What firmware do you guys have on your drives?  The latest one is 1.01.16.  Also, you don't have to use SSH to disable MioNet since there's a checkbox for starting MioNet within the "Remote Access" section of "Basic Mode" of the drive's Network Storage Manager (web interface).

I also use firmware version1.01.16. Mionet has the nasty habit of re-enabling itself despite of what you configure in the web-interface. The only way for me to completely disable it, without it restarting itself, is the way BATKA describes in the post above. Thanx for sharing this one with us. Before my drive still had firmware 1.00.14. It worked perfectly. Still regret the update and wish it could be rolled back somehow

[Anatoly]

I use the latest 1.01.16.

In my case looks like Twonky causes the problem.

What sad is the manufacturers put bells and whistles to sell products and users spend their time to switch them off to make the products work correctly.

BTW I don't use Mionet as it's so unreliable.

Batka,

I have MBWE white light 1T with fw 01.01.16,  I insert script but your solution don't work for me...

My mbwe not go in standby even after a night of waiting.

Any ideea for me?

[Batka]

Hi!

Yes It's good here. If you saved the file right, and restarted the MBWE and you stopped mionet service in WD Discovery menu, than your Mionet service won't restart again independently.

If your MBWE doesn't go to standby, then your problem isn't Mionet. Sorry.

Best Regards,

Batka

Thx Batca

Yes, I'm restarted the MBWE and  stopped mionet service in WD Discovery menu but my MBWE doesn't go to standby.

So,  I believe my problem is elsewhere but do not know where. Anybody know?
