Server won't spin down anymore, ZFS issue?

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me with an issue I've been experiencing.

I’ve been using Unraid for a while, and all my cache drives were XFS. A few months ago, I decided to switch to ZFS and performed a factory reset on my server (no hardware changes, just a reset). Since then, none of my array drives will stay spun down. When I manually spin them down, they do so for a few seconds, but then immediately spin back up.

I’ve also been waking up every day to hundreds of error messages about my disks overheating, and I’m assuming these two issues are related. Was htinking I could just ignore, but getting to a point I'm worried about loosing HDDs, right now, I can't really afford replacing 22TB HDDs...

I’ve been trying to figure out what’s causing this but haven’t had any luck so far. Has anyone else experienced this or have any idea what might be going on?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

You may have something accessing the disks, also make sure you do at least one reboot if you didn't yet after formatting the disks.

any way to easily find out what may be accessing the disks? I do have turbowrite and one of VM ISO in the domain folder. would that cause this??

If you mean there's an active vdisk in the array with turbo write enabled, yes, that would cause every disk to remain spun up.

thank you! I think that must have been the issue. turned off all my VMs and they're no longer spining up. I'm going to move everything to ZFS and then slowly move them back to array one vdisk at a atime.
