chris0583 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Server was running perfectly at 6.9.1 after the upgrade my drives are spinning all day. No matter what I do. I do not have active stream or processes keeping the drives alive. I shut down dockers and VM's and still nothing. I can not even manually spin them down. My current setup is in my signature. Box has not changed in years except for the addition of the P4000 for Plex. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 There are some known spin down issues with v6.9.2, best bet for now is to downgrade to v6.9.1 Quote Link to comment
chris0583 Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 Thanks for the quick reply. As usual you all the best support out there. I will attempt a downgrade and see how it goes Quote Link to comment
chris0583 Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 I have downgraded to 6.9.1 and after a week the drive still will not spin down, even if I click on them to force a spin down. Would there be some lingering code still preventing the spind down? Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 You're using Areca controllers, not sure they support spin down, at least without any additional config/modifcation, try searching the forum or using a recommended controller if that's an option. Quote Link to comment
chris0583 Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 It worked perfectly before the upgrade to 6.9.2 Once I upgraded it stop working. It was suggested I downgrade 6.9.1 which I did to fix it. It did not 😢 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 If you are coming from v6.8.x there were several changes to spin down logic for v6.9, if it doesn't spin down manually with v6.9.2 likely it won't spin down with any v6.9 release. Quote Link to comment
chris0583 Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 the drives spun down properly in 6.9.1. this issue only came up when i upgraded to 6.9.2 and then downgraded to 6.9.1 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 That doesn't make sense. Quote Link to comment
