Hello. The CPU in my server is always running at full clock, and the fan is always making tons of noise. My server sits idle 95% of the time, probably more. I work from home and the server is next to my desk, so I'd love to quiet it down a bit. How do I lower the clock on the CU when it's idle and also lower the fan speed? Setup is in my sig.

So disk1 and the parity drive are both set to the same spinup group. I'll disable them after the check is complete.

It spins down a second after the parity drive spins down after the check is complete.

So I'm running another check and sure enough disk1 is not spinning down and the check is at 4.9TB location when all data drives are 2TB or less. Looks like there are no open files on any disks. What do you guys think? What would keep the drive from spinning down? COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME cache_dir 3025 root cwd DIR 9,1 104 2 /mnt/disk1 cache_dir 3026 root cwd DIR 9,2 176 2 /mnt/disk2 cache_dir 3027 root cwd DIR 9,3 176 2 /mnt/disk3 cache_dir 3028 root cwd DIR 9,4 128 2 /mnt/disk4 cache_dir 3029 root cwd DIR 9,5 152 2 /mnt/disk5 cache_dir 3030 root cwd DIR 9,6 152 2 /mnt/disk6 sleep 3127 root cwd DIR 9,1 104 2 /mnt/disk1 sleep 3128 root cwd DIR 9,6 152 2 /mnt/disk6 sleep 3129 root cwd DIR 9,2 176 2 /mnt/disk2 sleep 3130 root cwd DIR 9,5 152 2 /mnt/disk5 sleep 3131 root cwd DIR 9,3 176 2 /mnt/disk3 sleep 3132 root cwd DIR 9,4 128 2 /mnt/disk4

Just what I'm looking for, thanks again!

Makes sense, thanks

Thanks! I'll use that command the next time I'm doing a parity check to see what the culprit is. Is there a plugin or another way to get this functionality form the web interface? Right now all that shows up is sleep and cache_dir.

Is this anything to worry about? What would cause this? The date and time is correct and has not been changed in ages.

What would cause a drive to never spin down? I installed a new parity drive and am building parity on the new drive. All other drives spun down hours ago, but for some reason something is preventing disk1 from spinning down. Is there a way to tell which files are open on individual drives? I remember being able to do this on 4.7, but I can't find it in 5.0. The "open files" list on 5.0 is a giant list showing every process compared to the 4.7 list which only showed actual open files on the array. Array drives are all <2TB and the new parity is 6TB, so the array drives should all spin down after the rebuild passes 2TB. Ideas?

How do I track down which process is sending the email? I think I remember it starting around the time I installed the APC plugin, but I can't find anything there that would do this either.

Setup is in my sig

Every time my server shuts down from the script I have, I get an email from the PowerDown script telling me that it powered down. How do I disable these emails? I'm aware of the version. This is the output from the email: DONE Powerdown initiated Powerdown V2.06

Yup, looks like it was a price mistake. Thanks

Pulled the trigger, I had $210 in gift cards to AZ which was perfect. Just have to remember to disable the head parking once I get the drive and before it goes into the server. This 6TB will replace the 4TB Red parity drive.

I have no idea. I got the deal from SD, and others have reported it working for some and not working for others. I just ordered the 6TB WD drive for $205 on AZ though.

Looks good to me, and AZ packages the drives well.

Try code SHOPEB412.

It's showing $Price: $209. You Pay: $199 Then in cart it has a $20 coupon applied automatically for $179.

Did you add it to cart? It didn't drop to $179 till I added it to cart. If this was Amazon I'd probably buy two with gift cards.

Add to cart for $179 price. $36/TB for a WD Red drive is pretty good in my book, and it's a retail box to boot! http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1083764-REG/wd_wdbmma0050hnc_nrsn_5tb_desktop_networking_hard.html

If NE wasn't so horrible at packing drives I'd be all over this.

I did see that, if it were a NAS or Red drive I'd have pulled the trigger

With 5TB and 6TB drives being out for a while now I won't buy the 4TB until it gets down to $130 shipped.

If it was a Red drive I'd be all over this.

$130 shipped for one of the 4TB NAS drives is my buy point. $120 would be ideal though.
