August 1, 20178 yr Is it just me or is the webgui drive status spin up/down balls not accurate at all. If I do hdparm -C /dev/sdc I get drive state is: active/idle but the ball is grey. If I click the spin up arrow the ball turns green and the command reads active still. If I then spin it down it changes to drive state is: standby as I would expect. But the question is, why isn't the webgui accurately depicting the status of the drives unless I do a manual force?
August 1, 20178 yr It's running on a schedule to check the status. By default this is 30 minutes. You can change this in either disk settings or display settings. (can't remember and mobile )Sent from my LG-D852 using Tapatalk
December 18, 20178 yr Author I got a bit busy and forgot about this but I still dont think its right. I found the setting to spin down the drives (30 mins) but not the setting to refresh the UI. Its been over 30 mins for sure since I accessed the fileserver and its showing all disks spun down except cache but hdparm is showing active. hdparm -C /dev/sdi | grep 'state' | awk '{print $4}' I'm not sure if the drives are spun down or not but I am thinking not. I seem to remember in the syslog it would indicate spinning drives down and i am not seeing that. The other question is, how does the webui determine spin up or down state? Maybe thats the difference.

December 18, 20178 yr Author ok I set it for 60. But its still showing spun-down while if I run the command its showing active/idle. Something is going on there.
