I finally got my Seagate Expansion to spin up and down by changing the spin down settings on the drive with seagate settings software. The default setting is never spin down which I suspect is why the router spindown command will not work. It works perfectly now.

You can get the setting software from Seagate here

I originally connected and used media server (dlna) , samba server , and ftp servers with the stock NTFS partition and Merlin's firmware with no problems. After some reading here about the best file systems for use on the Linux attached drives , I decided to reformat as ext3 and copies all my data back. It is working very well.
