Why is my parity drive spinning up all the time?

[wsume99]

I'm seeing numerous instances of my parity drive spinning down in my syslog. I do not have a chache drive and there were no writes to my server in the same timeframe so the parity drive never should have spun up in the first place. I think it may be associated with a XMBC client accessing the library but I'm not 100% sure. How can I find out what is causing the parity drive to spin up? Syslog is attached.

If the parity disk is spinning up, it is either in a spinup group shared with another data drive, or, a data drive is being written.

I had already checked the spinup groups possibility and I do not have spinup groups enabled so it must be due to something writing to a data disk. I've got inotify running now I'll just have to wait and see. Thanks Joe.
