February 20, 20242 yr These are the dockers I'm currently running: The shares: Plex Settings: Apart from that, I have CA Auto updater, Appdata backups. Nothing else I can think of that could be spinning up the disks. Diagnostics only show this: Feb 20 14:30:54 AWE emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sdd Feb 20 14:31:04 AWE emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sdc Feb 20 14:31:07 AWE emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sdb Feb 20 14:31:33 AWE emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdc Feb 20 14:46:35 AWE emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdb I'm assuming read SMART happens when a disk is spun up right? So no way of knowing what's causing it?
February 22, 20242 yr Author Even with the above Plex Scheduled Tasks settings at exactly 5AM all disks spun up.... These options shouldn't spin up disks right??
February 22, 20242 yr install file activity plugin - it should tell you more information about what is accessed when the disks spin up. Do you have Recycle Bin installed? If that's set to daily it might be spinning up every night.
February 22, 20242 yr Nothing you have shown us so far tells us which disks your shares are actually on. If appdata, domains, or system have any files on the array it will keep disks spinning since these files are always open

Only data is in the array (I already removed time machine backup). Everything else is all on cache

Doesn't mean there hasn't been some files put elsewhere at some point. Changing the settings won't move anything. 2 hours ago, Sptz87 said: Only data is in the array (I already removed time machine backup). Everything else is all on cache How do you know?

Changing the settings won't move anything. How do you know? Because I checked and double checked in the terminal. Each disk only have data. nothing else Shares image as well: Edited February 23, 20242 yr by Sptz87
March 13, 20242 yr Author So it looks like Plex is the culprit... I don't get it. Plex isn’t respecting scheduled tasks option selection even though I have every setting that could cause media analysis/scanning turned off. Video showing it doing, started at around 7:10am. You can see it’s just cycling through as all thumbnails have already been done and there’s none to do.
