• [6.9.2] Parity Drive will not spin down via GUI or Schedule

    • Minor

    Since upgrading to 6.9.2 I cannot spin down parity via GUI, as soon as I spin down it comes back up.

     

    Apr 8 10:18:45 Tower emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sdf
    Apr 8 10:18:58 Tower SAS Assist v0.85: Spinning down device /dev/sdf
    Apr 8 10:18:58 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdf

     

    Revert to 6.9.1 issue no longer happens.

     

    I can manually spin down the drive. All other array drives which are also SAS spin down fine.

    root@Tower:~# sg_start -rp 3 /dev/sdf
    root@Tower:~# sdparm -C sense /dev/sdf
        /dev/sdf: SEAGATE   ST4000NM0023      XMGJ
    Additional sense: Standby condition activated by command

     

     

    Also is it possible to get an updated version of smartctl added.

     

    Will continue to do more testing.

    I did see that Areca has a "Driver" for 6.10.  Does this drive differ from what is in the main distro?

    Yes looks like currently in 6.10.2 is 1.50.0x.05 but will have a look into it.

    I have the exact same issue here.  I've tried installing the Areca drivers for 6.10 and installed the latest firmware. but the drives still don't spin down.

    don't mind the 1 failed drive

    I assume you know that any access to that drive will require all disks to spin? Maybe even access to any user share will. Replace the drive and see if you still have a problem

    I can report the same issue, here on Unraid 6.11.5, parity drive is not spinning down anymore. Simple sata drive (Seagate Ironwolf) connect to onboard sata port.
