March 12, 20242 yr 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, 20242 yr by dopeytree
March 13, 20242 yr Community Expert Solution 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.
