Wednesday at 07:37 AM4 days Hello everyone,I am trying to find out what is causing 50GB per day writes on my NVMe disks.Here is my setup.I have Unraid 7.3.1 installed on a AOOSTAR WTR PRO Ryzen.I have two pools, one with 4 mechanical drives and a ZFS cache pool with 2 nvme drives. (Compression is also on)In the cache pool I only host Home Assistant and a FreePBX. FreePBX is barely utilized, 5-10 calls per month. There are other VMs also but everything is Powered off for days.Home assistant is working for around 30 devices.Nothing else resides in the pool, no docker.img, no logs, no shares, nothing, I moved everything out.Here are the numbers that SMART reports for a single diskJune 30 22:30-Data units read1,682,618 [861 GB]-Data units written4,777,679 [2.44 TB]July 1 10:30- Data units read 1,702,711 [871 GB] - Data units written 4,832,070 [2.47 TB]I believe this is excessive and I am looking for the culprit.Does anyone have an idea?File activity plugin does not show anything for the nvmes.
