Hard Drives wont stay spinned down

Featured Replies

So here is my dilemma,

My hard drives are always reading randomly and causing them to not stay spun down when not needed.

I have installed the Disk Viewer plugin, Active Streams etc. Its always reading the drives with 2.2mb to alot higher.

I have disabled alot of plugins to test and does not change anything.

I have uploaded my logs and wondering if any one can help. I have read alot of the posts about this and still does not fix my issue.

Thanks.

Your appdata and system shares have files on the array. These files are usually always open. You have these shares configured to put new files on cache, but existing files on the array won't be moved because there is no Mover action because there is no Secondary.

Also, nothing can move open files so you have to disable Docker in Settings before these can be moved.

So once I disable docker in my settings I go to the main tab and hit mover? Tried this and nothing moved for me.

Where would I find these files on the array per say and move manually, I just go through my drives and find the appdata and system folders and move manually to the cache folder?

** I got what you mean i have fixed it to move from array to cache but need to shut down my dockers to now force the mover. Will keep you updated when i do this.

More than that - you need to stop the docker service as well - not just the containers.

Ok that makes more sense.

I only stopped the dockers and tried the mover and it just sat there for 20 seconds and nothing.

I will try this tonight after work by stopping all the dockers settings.

Might be a good idea to uninstall Mover Tuning plugin until you get this taken care of.

Is it worth using once again when i get this issue resolved or is it more of just an addon?

I personally never use Mover Tuning.

Ya I figure it was more a niche thing.

I recommend not installing any plugin unless you know why you need it.

In my opinion this plugin causes more problems than it solves.

This seems to of worked. Removed the plugin, shut down dockers, shut down docker service in settings and then hit movers and it took a bit to move the docker and stuff from the 2hds that was sitting in the array and is done now.

Starting everything back up and will monitor it now.

Also dockers loaded up super fast now so seems it moved.
