OK, I just installed it and put cache_dirs -w in my go script and drives were still spinning up the same as before. So, I stopped it and then ran it at the prompt like - cache_dirs -F -v The below is the result; Executing find /mnt/disk2/Car_Music -noleaf Executing find /mnt/disk1/Movies -noleaf Executing find /mnt/disk2/Music -noleaf Executing find /mnt/disk1/New_Movies -noleaf Executing find /mnt/disk2/New_Movies -noleaf Executing find /mnt/disk2/Pictures -noleaf Executing find /mnt/disk2/Storage -noleaf Executing find /mnt/disk2/TV_Shows -noleaf Executing find /mnt/disk3/TV_Shows -noleaf Executed find in 0.287845 seconds, weighted avg=0.289340 seconds, now sleeping 6 seconds So, it appears to be going through all the directories and it did not spin up any drives the first pass when run on the comand line so it also appears the version running from the go script was working. I left it last night and the drvies all spun down sometime early this morning and stayed spun down while I stopped it and ran it from the command line. While it was running as above, the drives still spun up if I tried to navigate to almost any directory on them. I could go to the top level of the shares but that was about it. As I understand it, it will scan to a default maxium directory depth of 99 and I don't have anything beyond about 4 or 5 levels. I am using W7 Windows Explorer. I specifically set the default view to "List" which should not try to gather any specific info about the file or create a thumbnail of the file. I also turned off the "Details" pane and the "Preview" pane as well. Actually, the preview was off already. I then tried the -M 1 option and it seems a little better but still spins up disks.also I also tried -p 1 option but not much change. However, after both of these options it seemed to me there was a higher chance the disk would spin up when I pressed the back button while surfing directories. But, I still didn't notice much if any pattern to it. So, anyone have any ideas? Is this a Windows Explorer thing? Anyone else know if W7 Windows Explorer will still read file info no matter what.
