Shutdown without spinning up discs

[hmpf]

Hi,

when my unraid system is shutting itself down (e.g. after a certain time of inactivity) it first spins up every disc one after another.

I would like to know if there is any way to shutdown the system without spinning up the discs?

It is quite loud and unnecessary strain on longevitiy.

 

Since I have the system in my living room and only boot it up to watch a movie ~once a week, it doesn't make much sense to me to keep it running.

 

Thank you!

Not if you want to avoid doing an unclean shutdown.    UnRaid will have to write to each disk as part of cleanly unmounting it.

Unraid is meant to run constantly (imho). You should want unraid to run on a machine in the basement and let in run forever.

 

In your living room, you want a "player" to make things like Netflix, Disney, and your "home" media work together. Don't use unraid as a media player.

 

Happy to help if this is as clear as mud.
