I can confirm that it now skips over the missing disk2 and works fine unless I try to enable cache drives, in which case I'm getting the same error for `/mnt/cache2` now. I do have two cache disks, but they're in a pool so there isn't a second mount point (assuming I haven't set this up weird (see screenshot below)). I guess I should have looked more thoroughly at disks.ini and I might have seen that coming too.

January 19, 20215 yr I think I am having a similar problem... Jan 19 15:29:17 Tower file.activity: Starting File Activity Jan 19 15:29:17 Tower inotifywait[30498]: Couldn't watch /mnt/disk4: No such file or directory I don't have a disk4. What info do you need?
April 1, 20215 yr small convenience request, would it be possible to move the start, stop, refresh, etc buttons in the file activity tab to above the list of activities?

Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete Diagnostics ZIP file to your NEXT post in this thread.
April 29, 20215 yr So I was hoping this plugin could help me determine what was pinging my Cache SSD every 30 minutes (almost on the dot) which was preventing my system from going to sleep. But sadly the plugin doesn't detect anything. Do you have any advice? I already posted on the Dynamix thread. nas-ng-diagnostics-20210428-1559.zip

What is the time for your sleep? Try changing poll to 3600 to see if that fixes issue. Edited April 29, 20215 yr by SimonF

Try changing poll to 3600 to see if that fixes issue. That's a good theory, but it looks like changing that setting didn't make a difference. I did recently change my default spin down time from 60 to 30 mins. But increasing it to 45 min didn't fix it either. For now I'll try a reboot to see if a setting isn't properly getting applied immediately or something. This was never a problem when prior to updating to 6.9.2. I only made a handful of small changes since that update. But I can't think of anything else that would cause this. Edited April 29, 20215 yr by Marc_G2

I believe there have been some issues with S3 Sleep plugin on 6.9

I believe there have been some issues with S3 Sleep plugin on 6.9 At the moment it's set to 35 min after disks are spun down. I'll create a new thread if I can't figure it out in the next day or so.
May 7, 20215 yr probably a noob question... is there any way to see what process actually opened files captured by this plugin? just now I saw that something opened a bunch of music videos. i assume it was either plex or radarr, i just don't know why.

No, only the file activity. Not who created the activity.

File activity uses inotify to monitor file activity. There is no way to know which process accesses the file with inotify. I am changing the inotify events to (file access, file open, file create, file delete, and file modify) for more activities to help in identifying which files are changing. The downside is this will generate a lot of log activity, but might give more information on what is changing. I've been reluctant to monitor too much, because working through a large log can be overwhelming. I'm researching ways to be able to better manage finding what is relevant in the log. It won't log directory access events because the log will be unmanageable. The best way to handle this is to install the Cache Dirs plugin and only specify shares to be cached. Don't use the Cache Dirs default settings. It has a nasty habit of caching everything, which in many cases is way too much. If it is set up correctly, directory accesses should not spin up disks.
May 31, 20215 yr Author I've update the plugin with the following changes: Add modify file activity. Don't show directory access in the log. The log becomes unmanageable with all the directory entries and doesn't provide any additional information. Settable option to log events by disk or share. The share logging should help identify who is accessing files based on the share being used.
June 27, 20215 yr I installed the File Activity plugin, but when I go to start it, it acts like it is about to start, but never does. After about 5 secs of it loading, it refreshes the screen and says it is stopped and never shows anything. Thanks for any help!
