hi within Telnet the unmount command doesn't exist. I have no drives plugged in but dd-wrt thinks the drive still exists and is mounted. enabling SES button to unmount, when enabled actually unmounts all physical drives, but with enabled does not unmount the below listed items.
currently on DD-WRT v3.0-r27506 (07/09/15) std
Disk Info
Diskspace /jffs

Diskspace /opt

/dev/sdd mounted to swap
/dev/sda mounted to swap
/dev/sda mounted to swap
/dev/sdd mounted to swap
/dev/sdd mounted to swap
couldn;t you issue the command umount /mnt/sda1 from a terminal sshd putty session? _________________ Please state what make and model router plus the build number and type of DD-WRT you are using.

any thoughts on why every few minutes the USB HD changes locations? sda, to sdb, to sdd at random intervals, and each time the USB tab thinks the previous designation still exists. After a while it will show 4 partitions x 3 times when there is only 1 hard drive with 4 partitions. same UUID, same info, etc.
which doesn't return an error to prevent hard drive spin down. beyond that, not too sure if its actually working.
additionally the swap partition on the USB tab returns line after line after line of /dev/sda mounted to swap...it returns so many lines that it eventually freezes the USB tab.
This will keep repeating a million times freezing the USB tab if I click into it.
/dev/sdd mounted to swap
/dev/sda mounted to swap
/dev/sda mounted to swap
/dev/sdd mounted to swap
/dev/sdd mounted to swap
sounds like your drive is disconnecting and reconnecting itself-either due to incompatibility or some other reason.
if you have SES button enabled to disconnect drive, disable it. someone else mentioned they had an issue with it. I never used it myself so I don;t know if it does anything useful. _________________ Please state what make and model router plus the build number and type of DD-WRT you are using.

At the risk of sounding naive.. Is there any way to unmount the USB drives without powering down *or* the umount command? Perhaps via the UI? _________________ Routers:

drive is formatted as EXT3. I've setup the partitions as recommended per Optware DD-WRT Wiki.
i have SES Unmount disabled as it causes my drive to mount, then almost instantly unmount.
so to answer the last response, if you turn SES Unmount on your drive will unmount. alternatively you can turn off USB core support which will disable the USB ports entirely after unmount commands i've read.
