dopeytree Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) Hi am noticing something keeps spinning up my disk to do smart health checks. Or they are being spun up and then doing a health check. No read happens on drives so I can't use the file activity plugin or the open files plugin to narrow down.. Is there a way I can turn the frequency of smart checks down? It doesn't need to start up a sleeping pool.. i.e merlin Could be a 6.12.8 bug? Have removed disk location, zfs master etc incase it's a plugin but doesnt seem to be. Its not plex as plex doesnt touch the merlin drive pool. Diagnostics attached. Thanks moulin-rouge-diagnostics-20240312-2336.zip Edited March 12 by dopeytree Quote Link to comment
Solution itimpi Posted March 13 Solution Share Posted March 13 The SMART checks happen BECAUSE a drive has just been spun up so this is a symptom, not a cause. You need to identify the cause by a process of elimination by disabling everything that could access the disks (docket, VMs, LAN clients) and then bringing them on one at a time. 1 Quote Link to comment
