January 25, 20215 yr While i was fixing some problems with my current unRaid 6.9 Setup i came across the disks.ini file and saw that it featured a value named spundown. Could somebody explain how that value is retrieved? DiskIO counter? hdparm or completely different? There are several approaches an to be honest some of them are not really precise.
January 28, 20215 yr Community Expert That file is generated by the emhttpd daemon, and only Limetech knows exactly what they do to populate it in any particular Unraid release.
January 28, 20215 yr Author Thats too bad, a bit more info about this would be useful. If it is based on reliable approach that could be used to determinate if the array is inactive.
January 3, 20233 yr Author @limetech could you or any of the team explain how the status is determinated?
January 3, 20233 yr Community Expert I believe it uses IO count then will issue a hdparm to sg_start and sdparm if sas to spin down devices. is spin down is succesful then status is updates. Limetech provides som info in this post.
