theone Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) I am experiencing many random disk spin-ups. It is almost always disk3 which has a dedicated share "Documents". No other share is using this disk. My last spin-up was a few minutes ago (09:42AM). No one is at home and all PCs are in sleep mode. There are 2 running Windows 10 VMs but no files are open on them. Running dockers: Home Assistant HassIO Supervisor, MariaDB, LogitechMediaServer, Qbittorrent - All mapped to cache and downloads pool devices (not in array) I have the FileActivity plugin installed and can see access to files I have not accessed in months: Jun 01 09:42:14 OPEN => /mnt/disk3/Documents/Installed Utilities/Hardware Drivers/3D/Software/FreeCAD-0.18.4.980bf90-WIN-x64-installer.exe Jun 01 09:42:15 OPEN => /mnt/disk3/Documents/Installed Utilities/Hardware Drivers/3D/Software/prusa3d_win_2_2_9_1.exe Jun 01 09:43:51 OPEN => /mnt/disk3/Documents/Dan's Documents/Computer/Install Windows VM.txt While writing this post additional disks have spun up (disk2, disk5) and nothing additional logged in the FilesActivity logs. Each spin-up is visible in the syslog by the read SMART lines. Jun 1 09:56:18 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdj Jun 1 09:56:18 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdc Another example is this morning (no one home) all array disks which were not already spun-up started to spin: Jun 1 08:14:48 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdf Jun 1 08:55:51 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdg Jun 1 08:56:02 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdj Jun 1 08:56:22 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdc Jun 1 08:56:22 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdi How can I debug this and find out what keeps spinning up my drives? Update: I see plenty of people reporting this issue - Is there a fix in the works? Edited June 1, 2021 by theone Quote Link to comment
theone Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Additional information: Each time the drive spins up the number of reads (on the MAIN tab) increases by ~3-6. I have the following plugins running: CA backup/restore Appdata (no scheduled backups) CA Cleanup Appdata Community Applications Docker Folder Dynamix Local Master Dynamix SSD Trim Dynamix System Buttons File Activity Fix Common Problems - Background checks disabled Nerd Tools Network UPS Tools Open Files Preclear Disks Recycle Bin Server Layout (Plugin I wrote that doesn't do anything in the background) Tips and Tweaks Unassigned Devices (+ Plus) Quote Link to comment
