nfountou Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 hi, I have got 4.7 up and running just fine but it seems like when I wake up a disk by accessing its data, at least 3+ disks wake up. The disk I am waking doesnt share any data with other disks. Quote Link to comment
christuf Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 So funny you should post this - I was about to ask EXACTLY the same question. My only other refinement is that this behavior seems to have started at the same time I installed a cache drive for the first time. Perhaps coincidence, or the first time I was really monitoring behaviors, but thought I'd mention it. Quote Link to comment
Whaler_99 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Sounds like you have disks in the same spinup group. Check This Post for info on spinup groups, how to check and change... From my "Devices" Page: parity device: pci-0000:00:08.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 host1 (sda) Hitachi_HDS5C3020ALA632_ML0221F305ZHSD disk1 device: pci-0000:00:08.0-scsi-1:0:0:0 host2 (sdb) ST31000528AS_9VP5PKS8 disk2 device: pci-0000:00:08.1-scsi-0:0:0:0 host3 (sdc) ST3500418AS_9VMH6A5T disk3 device: pci-0000:00:08.1-scsi-1:0:0:0 host4 (sdd) ST3500418AS_5VMHPG0S disk4 device: pci-0000:04:00.0-scsi-2:0:0:0 host12 (sdi) SAMSUNG_HD502HJ_S27FJ9BZ306131 disk5 device: pci-0000:04:00.0-scsi-1:0:0:0 host11 (sdh) ST31500341AS_9VS3H9CP disk6 device: pci-0000:04:00.0-scsi-3:0:0:0 host13 (sdj) ST31000528AS_9VP953SJ You can see by the "host" designation, they are all in different spinup groups...

christuf Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Great - thank you... I've disabled spin-up groups for the time being. I couldn't see where to find the place to change the group assignments (referenced in post "You can go to the 'Disk' pages accessed from the Main page for each disk and change this if desired.") Has this changed since 4.5? Quote Link to comment
GK20 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I think once user disable spinup group in Setting, regardless how disks were assigned into groups. unRAID should totally ignore them. otherwise what is the purpose of "disable" spin-up group. i have similar issues, all disks connected to my 8-ports Supermicro controller are assigned to same spin-up group and even i disable spinup group i still see some disks were spun up without reason not even at same share when i was accessing others.

nfountou Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 I have done that already. Spinup groups are disabled but still the same problem. I was having a conversation with an other unraid user and he adviced me to use included and excuded disk settings. I ll have it a try... Quote Link to comment
nfountou Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 found it! in some disk i found some folders in root directory with the same name as folders in other disks... I didnt know that I am working with user shares... everything seems to be ok now : ) Quote Link to comment
Whaler_99 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Ahh.. maybe you copied some data at some point to /mnt/diskx instead of /mnt/share which would account for that. Glad it is sorted out. Great - thank you... I've disabled spin-up groups for the time being. I couldn't see where to find the place to change the group assignments (referenced in post "You can go to the 'Disk' pages accessed from the Main page for each disk and change this if desired.") Has this changed since 4.5? Not sure about 4.5 - I am on 4.7. On the main page, if I click on "disk1" or "disk2", etc, I get: disk1 settings Partition format: unknown File sytem type: reiserfs Spin down delay: Use default Spinup group(s): host2 And here you can change that spin up group name. Each of my disks has a different one... Shawn Quote Link to comment
