I am having a very strange issue.  After all my drives are spun down and I select disk3 , disk 5 also spins up with it.  Now when I select disk1, 2, or 4 this does not happen an disk 5 says spun down.  It is only when I select disk3.  I am not sure if something is going on because I did a reboot and when it start up it went into a parity check.  Attached is the syslog file.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

When you 'select disk 3' are you accessing disk shares or user shares?

 

Do you have any spin up groups set?

 

Edit: I do see some spin up groups in your syslog:

 

Mar  2 00:43:51 Tower kernel: mdcmd (4): set spinup_group 0 4
Mar  2 00:43:51 Tower kernel: mdcmd (5): set spinup_group 1 0
Mar  2 00:43:51 Tower kernel: mdcmd (6): set spinup_group 2 1
Mar  2 00:43:51 Tower kernel: mdcmd (7): set spinup_group 3 32
Mar  2 00:43:51 Tower kernel: mdcmd (: set spinup_group 4 0
Mar  2 00:43:51 Tower kernel: mdcmd (9): set spinup_group 5 8

 

On the unRAID settings page, set 'enable spin up groups' to 'No' and see if the behavior changes.

Raj,

 

Thanks for the help.  Changing "Enable spin up groups" to NO fixed the issue.  The current hosts were:

 

Parity  host6

Disk1   host5

Disk2   host6

Disk3   host1

Disk4   host2

Disk5   host1

 

I never touched them in the past and am not sure if this is new to 4.7 or was always there.  Should each disk have it's own host?  Can I change them manually or will that mess things up?  I would probably do:

 

Parity  host1

Disk1   host2

Disk2   host3

Disk3   host4

Disk4   host5

Disk5   host6

 

Just disable it and it shouldn't matter.  Or you can manually set each host by clicking on the drive's link on the unRAID Main page.

Thanks for all the help.  I never knew about the host option and think down road it will come in handy.  For example Disk 1 and 2 are dvd's, Disk 3 and 4 TV Shows, and Disk 5 mostly games and misc.  So it would be nice for them to come up together in groups.
