April 11, 20233 yr So I have been having an issue for a while that nearly all of the drives in my array are always spun up. Currently only 1 out of 13 are in standby mode. Yesterday I tried stopping all docker containers and enable them 1 by 1 until it happened. There does not appear to be a correlation there, randomly the drives are just spinning back up. Leaving the containers stopped I saw drives randomly spin up. There was no file access going on during this time. Oddly the read/write counts do not change and the speed is at 0.0B/s for all of the drigves I have tried to use the OpenFiles plugin and the only files being accessed are on disk12 by frigate (issue existed well before frigate was installed), I need to move that off of the array but it is known. Attaching my diagnostics to see if anyone can figure it out. essex-diagnostics-20230411-0823.zip Edited April 11, 20233 yr by Syco54645
April 12, 20233 yr Author Solution I solved it. Not sure why the md_write_method was set to reconstruct write... I did not do it, I did not know it even existed. I assume an update did and that is slightly concerning.

Just odd that it was on as I never turned it on, I did not even know this option existed. It has been probably 4 years since I went into a disk settings. Edited April 12, 20233 yr by Syco54645
April 12, 20233 yr None of the Unraid updates change this setting, only manual (=user) would change this.

I don't really care how it happened just making it known that the setting was apparently enabled automatically on my server. The last time I went into disk settings was to set the default from reiserfs to xfs. I did this when xfs was being pushed over reiserfs. I don't even see how I could have accidentally done this. For me to make a change to the md_write_setting I would have to go into disk settings, change it, and then click save. Regardless. It is solved and that is all that truly matters.
