One feature which I would like to see on Snake OS and it is not yet implemented is USB disk spindown. Few tips how to accomplish it can be found at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/SpinDownUSBHarddisks. I tried sg_start from this howto and it just worked fine for my Transcend StoreJet 25.
I like Linux in embedded devices which allows people to do huge amount of tasks with simple and low power consuming devices. I'd like to publish my experiences and trivial guides to enhance such devices.

USB NAS, Snake OS and Linux
DealExtreme NAS is based on STR8100 processor which is an ARM architecture capable to run Linux. This processor is used in cheap USB NAS servers which is available on ebay for nearly $40 and due to Linux usage it is capable to do a lot of things.
