[6.10-rc1] Drives Will Not Spin Down

I'd like to add my diagnostics to the thread, in case it helps, as I am having the same issue. The drives used to spin down prior to this release, and I cannot force them to spin down in RC1.

Which version did you have before the upgrade.

I was on 6.9.1

Looks like issue is similar to 6.9.2 which happened for some users. Not sure why you are seeing now.

 

Your myservers flash backup is failing also with a segfault @ljm42may be able to advise on that issue.

I noticed that, but one issue at a time I figured  Thank you for noticing and pinging someone who might be able to help.

 

I am pretty darn confident my drives were spinning down in 6.9.2. I'm pretty anal about seeing it happen, and now it is *definitely* not happening. Let me know if I can help. I could also perhaps roll back to 6.9.2 to test, if it would help.

@ljm42 Misread logs its not flash backup creating segfault.

It may be worth checking if able.

I had the same thing after the upgrade to 6.10-rc1 until I set Avoid spinning up disks for tests in the Fix Common Problems plugin to Skip test on spun down disks. Seems it's an issue with the plugin. Check in the File activity plugin if you see files like /mnt/disk1/1377164513.tmp

It's not an issue with the plugin, as you pointed out

And even there, FCP would only spin up drives on the schedule you've set to run FCP....

You might be right, all I know that the disks stopped spinning up after changing the setting.

In my case FCP was already set to skip and the drives still won't spin down.

if using SAS update to the new version of the SAS Helper.
