I actually think I tracked down my problem and it wasn’t an UnRaid issue. After I posted, I started looking at every device on my network linked to my server. After I re- enabled mover logging, I saw my router was writing information quite frequently. I just updated my router with the latest Advanced Tomato firmware, I had previously configured a CIFS IP data usage to write to my backups share on the server. Low and behold the interval was 1 hour. Now that data usage tracking is working properly in Advanced Tomato, I don’t need to do it anyway.
it doesn’t explain why it spun up the entire array every hour (because backups is limited to one specific disk In the array) but now it’s only happening on a few drives and, in my best estimation, it’s functioning properly now. My tip to anyone else having similar issues is to double check every device that might read/write to a share on the server and be as detailed as possible. I also just configured a separate share for time machine backups from the Mac on my network so I expect to see, in my case Disk 9, spun up quite a bit.
