[6.9.0-BETA25] NO AUTOMATIC SPIN DOWN OF CACHE Drive POOL

Did you test in safe mode? There's a known issue with the IPMI plugin that causes that.

Thank you Johnnie! for your quick reply  No i haven't tried the safe mode yet i could try that, everything worked fine on 6.8.3 i didn't add or remove any plugins. what is IPMI plugin?

 

Thanks JP.

Yes, the IPMI plugin also worked fine on v6.8.3, that was just an example, there might be other plugins affecting pool spin down, so first thing to do is to try in safe mode.

Also, if safe mode doesn't help please post the diagnostics (downloaded when using safe mode).

Ok I tried the safe mode and set the setting to spin down the cache pool to 15 mins and it still doesn't work, How do i get the diagnostics file? like do i go back in to safe mode then type something to get it to make the file then where do i put it.

 

Thanks JP.

Tools -> Diagnostics -> attach the zip file in full to your next post.

Sorry What i mean is when i am in safe mode what do i type in the terminal to get it to make the diagnostic file?

 

Thank you

You are using an SSD for cache, spin down is now only done for non rotational devices, it's on the release notes.

Changed Status to Closed

Changed Priority to Other

Yes i am using SSD so your saying they don't spin down SSDs anymore only hdd?

avoid sending spinup/spindown to non-rotational devices

 

Ok Thank you Johnnie! for all your help  one last question do you know if that apply's to SSDs in the array or just cache pools

 

 

Thanks JP

Any non rotationtional device, in the array or a pool.
