Unraid Spin Down Problem..

Featured Replies

Quick Info

 

Just moved server into new chassis... everything is the same....

 

Have parity "disk p" we will call it

 

Than Disk 1,2,3,4,5...

 

For some reason When I press spin down.. they all turn flashing green... but 2 seconds after Disk 5 spins back up?

 

Was running 12a... figured let me try and upgrade "even though this wasn't happening pre swap..

 

I changed the SATA cable.. same thing?

 

Nobody is home right now... thus nobody is trying to access anything? So I have no idea why it's trying to spin up

 

Even log is not showing anything?

 

Oh and I have no plugins etc...

Something is reading the directory.

 

Did you try watching /mnt/user to see if it is being accessed via the user-share?

if you type

smbstatus

does it list anything being accessed via SAMBA?

what do you see when you type

lsof | grep /mnt

what do you see?

is there a way to see what is opening a folder with inotify ?

 

i installed it and looking at it and it opens and closes a folder that is normally only used by me

/mnt/user/ OPEN,ISDIR Toolbox

/mnt/user/ CLOSE_NOWRITE,CLOSE,ISDIR Toolbox

/mnt/user/ OPEN,ISDIR Toolbox

/mnt/user/ CLOSE_NOWRITE,CLOSE,ISDIR Toolbox

/mnt/user/ OPEN,ISDIR Toolbox

/mnt/user/ CLOSE_NOWRITE,CLOSE,ISDIR Toolbox

and i am not opening it ...  besides nobody else using their computers now... only my 2 unraids and my main computer are on the lan now

I would suspect one of the computers on the LAN.  Try turning each off in turn (or just unplug its LAN cable) for a few minutes to see if the disk still spins back up.

 

Even if you are not using the computer, perhaps a process still is, even if just a file-explorer.

okie.. WTF...

 

Jun  7 22:48:36 Tower kernel: mdcmd (39): spindown 5

 

Right after I posted it, it has spun down??? And it's working good!

 

Alright so now to play around...

 

I pressed spin up.. all up!

I pressed spin down... looks like it's all down

 

But when I hit refresh/It's back on..

 

So unraid can auto spin down.. 15 minutes "works fine"

 

But for some reason1 Disk is refusing to spin down?

ThX Joe

 

it is definately SMB that is accessing it

had to do the command a few times to catch it

small question

the user on the SMBD is nobody

if it was another computer lets say mine where i am logged in as bob for example, would the user then not be bob ?

i know i used toolbox yesterday evening from my laptop but that is shutdown now ..... going to close explorer windows to see

But Disk 5 is still being stupid lol and spinning up

Turn OFF all the other PCs and media players on your LAN, I'll bet it spins down.
