February 19, 201610 yr I've noticed that some of my disks are not spinning down after the 1 hour delay set in Disk settings: It appears that the cache drive is empty, only data left is the Docker container. Is there a way to determine what processes could be keeping the drives active? I do have backups that run at night, but they should all be finished by 6AM, several hours ago.

February 19, 201610 yr Author Install the open files plugin (you can find it in community applications) So looking at the open files, I see that smbd is listed. These are shares I have from my workstation into the NAS. These correspond to the drives that are not spinning down...I think. I don't have any files open via Samba, just drive mappings from Windows/SMB. Would that keep the drives from spinning down?

February 22, 201610 yr Author If windows is deciding to index the mapped drives, or try and get thumbnails, etc then yes it would have that effect So I thought that might be the case, so I ran the spin-down command. All drives spun down as expected. I left the SMB drive mappings to unRaid in place. Several hours later, all drives are still spun down. I then accessed one of the drives, and drilled down to a directory and now one of the drives has spun up. So not sure what could be keeping the drives spun up. Is there any kind of diagnostic I could run to see what's keeping a drive spun up? I've got it set to spin down after an hour. Closed file explorer so no drive mappings open. Will see what happens in the AM...
