[Plugin] Disk Activity — Real-Time I/O Utilization Column for Array & Pool Devices
Sorry. I couldn't reproduce the issue. The zfs disks are spinning down normally on my end. Pls try uninstalling the plugin, then see if the disks can spin down normally?

[Plugin] Disk Activity — Real-Time I/O Utilization Column for Array & Pool Devices
Disk Activity Plugin for UnraidAdds a real-time Activity column to your Array Devices, Pool Devices, and Boot Device tables on the Main page. See at a glance which disks are busy and which are idle — no more guessing from the blinking lights. Screenshots FeaturesReal-time I/O activity (0–100%) displayed next to the Errors column Three display modes — configurable under Settings → Disk Activity: Progress bar — color-coded bar with percentage overlay (default) Colored text — percentage number colored by activity level Plain text — just the number, no styling Pool summary rows show the average activity across all member devices Color-coded thresholds: 🟢 Green: < 40% (low) 🟠 Orange: 40–69% (medium) 🔴 Red: 70–89% (high) 🔴 Dark red: ≥ 90% (critical) Lightweight bash daemon reading /proc/diskstats — negligible CPU overhead Polls every 2 seconds with smooth transitions Automatically starts/stops with the array Supports light and dark Unraid themes How It WorksA small background daemon reads the io_ticks field from /proc/diskstats every 2 seconds and computes the percentage of time each disk spent doing I/O. The values are written to an INI file, which a PHP endpoint serves as JSON. JavaScript on the Main page injects the Activity column and updates it via AJAX polling.

Increase Max File Name Length
Seems mover has difficulties to move file from cache to array, where the file has a very long name. The file is created by transmission docker therefore I am won't be able to rename it. Is there any way I can increase the maximum file name length for mover?

Unassigned Devices - Managing Disk Drives and Remote Shares Outside of The Unraid Array
Is there any way I can create a zfs pool from 3 unassigned devices through UD GUI? I have a 10TB array and I want to make a cold backup to 3x4TB USB external HDD then store them in somewhere safe.

Ignore a top level folder been used as a share
Can I mount 4 disks as a brtfs array in UD?

Ignore a top level folder been used as a share
Situation: I have a array of 4 disks as my main storage. 2 ssd pool brtfs RAID1 as cache. And a 4 disk brtfs RAID0 pool as a backup of my main array. I would like to periodically back up my file from my main array to that 4 disk brtfs pool through rsync. Then remove those disks put somewhere safe. The command I am using is: rsync -av /mnt/user/ /mnt/coldbackup/array_backup/ However, unraid will automatically mark "array_backup" as a share then add it under /mnt/user folder. Such behavior will create a recursive loop until the /mnt/coldbackup is full. Two possible solution I can think of: 1. Using tar to compress array to one file. Not only it takes very long time but if the file is corrupted , that back up is useless. 2. Tell rsync to ignore that /mnt/user/array_backup Question: Just curious if there is a setting to let unraid to ignore a top level folder been used as share. Or mark a disk pool not been used as part of a share?
