unRaid version=6.8.3; No cache drives/pool; no SSDs all HDDs, 10 drives + parity drive
I have been an unraid user since about 2010. Recently I noticed I could not spin down one of my disks and the parity disk. In the past I was sure I was able to spin all disks down and they stayed down until accessed. To be precise they do spin down (using capabilities of the main gui page either by disk or using "spin Down" button) however they spin back up after a few seconds. The data disk and the parity disk are getting writes every few seconds. I had recently turned on docker and installed a container.
To try and isolate the problem I have removed the container, turned off docker (marked disabled in docker settings) and rebooted the system. The problem still persists. I have traced it to a share named "system", containing a directory named "docker" which contains the file "docker.img" The size of the file does not seem to be changing (21.5 GB). I am concerned with the high amount of traffic to the two disks.
Should I be concerned; maybe 500 accesses (writes) per hour?
Is this a known Bug?
is there a Fix?
How can I resolve the continuing writes?
I normally keep the array spun down but this seems to no longer be possible.
