Constant reads/Opening of VM and random tmp files - even in safe mode

[Mavric1298]

Having the same issue as many with inability to spin down one of my drives + my  parity drive.  Literally instantaneously spins back up and has half a million reads in the first minute of up time after a reboot.  File activity is showing these random temp files being created as well opening of a VM disk image that isn't running and isn't showing as modified.  Any ideas?  Even in safe mode, will all dockers shut down, and no HBA card still having this issue

Can you monitor the activity from the local console and unplug the network to see if it stops?
