Disk 1 spins constantly.

[sYndax]

Hey, 

 

I'm running a 5 disk raid 5 array. 

My cache drive is a 10k rpm drive. My dockers are located on the cache drive (sabnzbd/unifi). My nzb watch dir is also on the cache drive. My vm is on the array but constantly turned off. 

 

Even when i force spindown disk1 spins up a few moments later. 

 

Can anyone help me?

Raid5? Or unRaid single parity?

If you had a hardware raid controller configured for a 5 disk raid 5 array, that array would appear as a single disk to unRAID.

 

unRAID is not RAID, hence the name.

 

So, which is it?

Thanks.

 

I've installed the plugin and left the array to idle for about 12 hrs...

came back from work today, and disk1 spins while the plugin shows the last file activity was last night...

 

What am i doing wrong?

I suspect nothing... I'm seeing the same thing Bro.

 

Look in the smart area of your drives and notice the hours - mine are all about the same. This is a new set-up with three new drives + parity. I moved ~ 15 TB of data and all seems fine, Every time I check on the machine with the web gui , disk one appears to be awake. When I check each drives' history, their spun-up hours are within 50 hours.
