January 4, 20242 yr I've set my disks to spin down when not in use since they shouldn't be being accessed very often at all; however, I've been randomly finding at least one disk and parity online. Whenever I see them online I check active streams and open files but see nothing connecting to them. That said, I just clicked on log and see a lot of disk notifications for SMART and spin down. I've read it's not healthy to have the disks spinning up/down more than 5 times per day and I'm way over this amount ... how do I find the cause of this?

Frigate was offloading files every hour for it's retention policy. I've requested they do this once per day instead and in the meantime turned retention up to 365 days. Radarr/Sonarr has scheduled tasks running more than every hour that cause the Array to spin up. Since the developers can't trust people to manage their own media server settings, I powered these down and have switched to streaming media rather than downloading it.

January 4, 20242 yr Author Hi, thanks for the quick reply @trurl ... attached. FWIW - I installed File Activity plugin and see several movie/show files. I'm not sure if Radarr/Sonarr tasks that run multiple times per hour, and can't be adjusted, would cause this? I also noticed some CCTV which is probably Frigate but am not sure why it would be doing anything with a share that's set to Cache and should only be moved to the Array by mover whenever it runs. I also notice a photo is OPEN and while I pass in /data/media to my media dockers, they do not have my photos added to their library so this is really bizzare. I also see a few .tmp files and am not sure what that's about. Edited January 5, 20242 yr by bugsysiegals
January 4, 20242 yr Author No, I never got VPN protection to work and received a letter from my ISP in the past so I moved to usenet. I’ve shutdown Radarr/Sonarr and will check activity tomorrow morning.
