Hello,

 

I'm currently facing the problems that my SATA HDD drives won't properly spin down.

 

Output of syslog:

Nov 21 18:39:21 Tower emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sdb
Nov 21 18:39:21 Tower emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sdc
Nov 21 18:39:25 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdb
Nov 21 18:39:25 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdc

 

Using the plugin "File Activity" I can see that there is no activity on the array.

 

I've read that the raid controller might prevent the disks from spinning down. I'm using a Terramaster F4-423 NAS as hardware for my Unraid. Since the NAS supports various RAID-modes, I tried to check which raid controller is being used to try activating HBA-mode.

 

Using "lspci" I couldn't find any proper raid controllers.

I hope somebody as an idea.

 

Best regards

I might be angry if my drives spun *down*. (they should run 24/7 whether their needed or not)

 

Bump?
