• unRAID 6.9 trying to spindown Unassigned Thumb drives

    After upgrading to 6.9.0, and remaining with 6.9.1,  I noticed that unRAID is trying to spin it down every hour.

    unassigned devices don't seem to have the option to over-ride the global spin-down delay.

    Just an annoyance given the hourly entry in the syslog.

    As a workaround you can set the default spin down delay to never, see Settings -> Disk Settings

    And change the spin down delay for each individual disk you want to spin down.

    There's a longstanding kernel bug that flags usb flash media as "rotational".  We'll try and a get a proper fix in.
