Hello,
I have an external disk plugged to the RPI5. When the RPI5 shuts down, the external storage shuts down as well and needs to be manually powered-on.
The external storage is a SATA drive enclosure with an USB 3.0 port and a dedicated power supply. The problem is that the enclosure shuts down the drive when it detects that the RPI5 is powered off or reboots, and does not wake back up when the RPI is powered-on. It has to be powered-on manually. This means that I have to be physically present in order to reboot or power-on the RPI: no Wake-on-LAN or remote reboots, or I lose the drive.
Is there any way to prevent the RPI from cutting power to USB devices when it shuts down or reboots ?
I've seen a lot of questions for the opposite problem about the RPI4 where USB devices apparently kept running when it was shut down. Unfortunately for me this seems to have been fixed on the RPI5.![:D]( "Very Happy")
