Array disks won’t stay spun down

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I’m having an issue where my array disks never stay spun down. The disks spin down briefly but immediately spin up again.

My setup is a CWWK Q670-8Bay motherboard with an Intel 13-12100T CPU, 16GB RAM, array has 2 × 4TB Seagate Ironwolf + 1 × 6TB Ironwolf parity formatted as XFS. The cache is 2 × 2TB NVMe ZFS.

All docker related files and folders are on the cache only. The array only has a media share.

But even with docker completly disabled the array wont stay spun down.

The Main tab shows “Reads” of a few KBs every 4-8 seconds.

I booted into Safe Mode and when all docker containers where stopped the drives actually stayed spun down.

I’m looking for advice on how to get the disks to actually stay spun down.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I see you have some additions to the config/go file that are not part of standard Unraid. Perhaps one of them is the culprit.

Thanks for the assist.

The flash drive came from a Lincstation that failed.

I never realised that them entries were custom entries solely related to it.

I commented-out them and the drives are behaving like they should now.
