May 23, 201214 yr I have a 4 drive array running. Parity, Disk 1, Disk 2, and Cache (maybe thats a 3 drive array)?? Anyway... I have Sabnzb, Sickbeard, and Virtualbox running on the Cache drive...so I dont expect it to spin down since its in use. But my parity and Disk 1 never spin down either. Disk 2 will spin down though. (after being idle) I even went as far as to click "spin down all disks" which works, but then the drives in question are back up within 1min. How can I find out what is using these drives?

Easiest is to install the "Inotify tools" package. It is an installable package from within the package manager in unMENU. PACKAGE_NAME inotify tools - (command line utilities for inotify) inotify-tools is a set of command-line programs for Linux providing a simple interface to inotify. These programs can be used to monitor and act upon filesystem events. For more information see the inotifywait and inotifywatch man pages. To track activity under /mnt/user (all the user-shares), type:inotifywait -mr /mnt/user To track activity on a specific disk (/mnt/disk1), type:inotifywait -mr /mnt/disk1 inotify-tools home: http://inotify-tools.sourceforge.net/
May 23, 201214 yr Author Perfect. I figured out that Vbox is writing a log file to disk1. At one point I had my VM and everything on disk 1, and have since moved it to my cache drive (or so I thought) Im going to log into vbox and see if I can find a setting for this. Would you happen to know a remedy?
May 23, 201214 yr Author I might have found it. Looks like my "default machine folder is still pointed to Disk 1 thanks for the quick reply. Ill mark this one solved
