September 25, 20232 yr I cant get all of the ZFS disks to spin down automatically. Only the first disk spins down and stays active. I can spin them down manually and they stay spin down until I use them but they don't spin down by themselves. Saw some forums that ZFS Master plugin kept them active but I removed that awhile ago and it still not working. Is there a setting I am missing to apply spin down to all disks on a ZFS pool?

April 4, 20251 yr Author Solution I did end up fixing. I had to go to each drive and set the spin down. I guess I only set it on the 1 figuring it would go to the whole pool.
April 4, 20251 yr So that's what I planned on doing, but my other ZFS drives do not have the option, so I suspect a configuration error on my part. Image attached as well as diagnostics. nas-diagnostics-20250404-0656.zip
April 4, 20251 yr Community Expert With v7.x you only set it for the 1st pool device, but there's a bug that only the that device will spin down initially, the other ones will only spin down after an array restart, this has been fixed, but it's only on 7.1-beta for now.
April 4, 20251 yr Author yea started up my spare server to check and seen that the options were were there in 6.12.4 but guess were removed at a later release. I ended up not using spin down later so didn't notice the change.
