Volumio 1.4 for Cubietruck Feedback thread

Hi Michelangelo!

Just have tested my brandnew cubietruck that arrived today. Within half an hour everything worked via spdif toslink and an external dac.
I use the internal wlan of the truck and have an external HDD connected via USB. Sounds good and Volumio 1.4 performs well now.

But: 1) After powering down the truck the HDD does not shut down automatically. I have to plug off the extra psu of it.

   2) I've tried ram-load- but tracks are loading very slow. Further more the ram space only delivers 256MB (like with the pi)
       Truck has 2GB, there must be something left untouched.

Is there a workaround for this 2 problems so that I can do the change?

Thanx!

Greetingz, Robert
