As you can see in this screen shot, the dashboard is reporting disk reads on drives that are spun down. Is there a bug causing the reads to be reported or causing the drives to be reported as spun down, or is this, somehow, expected?

Hi, reads are likely to be unraid checking drive status.

Interesting. I thought the whole, or at least half, the idea of cache.dirs was to avoid reading the drive because everything was in memory.

Guess I don't fully understand, but that's OK.

Thanks for the response - guess it's just never noticed that in the past.

There's some comments in the support thread about not having it cache "user" but rather switching exclusively to disks instead.

Its when smartctl is checking the disk. even in standby,
