• [6.9.0] HDD's no spin down after update


    xruchai
    • Solved Minor

    After updating to 6.9 Final the HDD's (sata) no longer go into standby (after 30 min), no spin down.

     

    I also set the delay to 15 minutes but the HDD's just don't go into standby.

    I have not changed any system settings before, only when I tried to solve the problem (uninstalled plugins etc.).

     

    Before the update, on 6.8.3, the spin down worked fine.

     

    I hope that you can help.

    My HDDs also spin down properly (with autofan and telegraf running.)

     

    Not only that but my non-cache pool drives which never spun down own their own do now. Perfect.

    I was not able to resolve this until I uninstalled and stopped all the following:

    1. Dynamix fan plugin
    2. Telagraf
    3. Varkin
    4. InfluxDB
    5. HDDTemp

    After that happened, the disks don`t spin down anymore 😞

    Hi, 

     

    I also got the same problem and its annoying me now. 

    I have updated to 6.9.1 but still no succes, when i manually spin my disk down.

    After a while they will be spun up again and i see the following in the logs:

     

    Apr 2 19:49:45 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdd
    Apr 2 19:52:09 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sde
    Apr 2 19:52:47 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdh
    Apr 2 19:52:47 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdg
    Apr 2 19:52:47 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdb
    Apr 2 19:52:47 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdf
    Apr 2 19:52:47 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdc
    Apr 2 19:52:48 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdl
    Apr 2 19:52:58 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdk

     

    but i dont have autofan or any plugins as mentioned in this topic enabled. Also no telegraf.

     

    Any one has an idea?

     

    Kind Regards,

    Dion

    Did you trying to increase the a Tunable (poll_attributes) under Disk Settings ?
    Default is 1800.

    If you want to spindown the disks after 1 hour put in 3700, 2 hours put in 7300, etc.

    I suggest you just hold off until 6.9.1 is published.  Will probably solve the problems you are seeing.

    The Problem is still present for me in 6.9.2

    Do the disks spindown after they woke up or do they stay spinning?

    If you spindown some disks spin backup straight away.

     

    Happens on the schedule also. But effect varies between systems and some people do see an issue.

     

    I raised a new bug report.

    for me, the disks spinn down and then they read smart right away and spin up again.

    Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdd

    I have gone back to 6.9.1 there, they spin down nicely.

    I am seeing the same cycle. Drives spin down then an almost immediate SMART read causing them to spin back up.

    May 10 15:20:44 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sde
    May 10 15:20:44 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdc

     

    Is there a solution for this?

    Are you running 6.9.0, 6.9.1 worked ok, 6.9.2 has some issues for some.

    6.9.2

    Suggest downgrade to 6.9.1.

     

    Are you just sata?

     

    This is my bug post others are affected.

    Just SATA. I will downgrade.

    Tried setting the spin down timeout to less than poll interval. Didn't help.

    I have downgraded to 6.9.1 and I am still seeing the same pattern.

    My drives will not stay spun down.

    Which plugins are you using. Diags may be helpful.
