Hey, I read a lot of posts on this topic, but unfortunately none of them helped me. I am new to unraid and installed it on my server a few days ago. I was just using my 2 hdds for everything at first until I thought about using my ssd as a cache. I set up the shares for my media server as cache -> array share so that everything is saved to the cache first and loaded to the hdd at night. I thought that was all, but the Disk1 HDD stays spun up, even though I am not using plex or any other docker container that uses stuff from that media share.
I then moved all files and folders (appdata, system) off the array except for the media data to the cache ssd. On Disk1 only remains my media data for plex. Docker should also run completely on the cache SSD. First I used the mover. After not all the data within the appdata and system folder was moved, I moved it myself using the Unraid Page File Manager.
Although the Disk1 HDD stays up no matter what I do. I downloaded the Active Streams, File Activity and Open Files plugins but I cant see anything connected to Disk1.
Is it not possible to spin down Disk1 while running Docker Containers like Plex? I thought while no one is using plex, there should be no data transfer and the disk 1 can go off until
someone want to upload files to the share - which should be only uploaded to the ssd without waking up the hdd OR
someone want to watch movies stored on that hdd
Maybe someone here can help me out. I am also considering a complete reinstall of unraid if nothing else helps.
