April 5, 201610 yr This is hard to explain, but one of my data disks is spinning up for no reason. There shouldn't be any activity on it, but yet it is spun up and I can't find why. I'm currently running "inotifywait -mr /mnt/disk2" It gives me a list and looks like it's not loading anything else (like it would if it was going to spin down). Then the terminal window will flash like a page refresh and load in the same content. It's almost like it is re scanning the disk for some reason. The last lines of the command are always the same. I'm not sure what to capture to get a better explanation of what I am seeing. I'm just trying to get this disk to spin down when it is not needed. 6.1.9 Cache Dirs is installed
