1 drive always spun up

I recently had to replace one of my drives that failed the SMART tests 

Quote

Error 1 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 9848 hours (410 days + 8 hours) When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.

Replacement went well. Drive rebuild completed without error; but I have noticed that periodically checking my unraid status. The replacement drive is the only one other than parities that are constantly spinning. All other drives are spun down.  Any thoughts?

 

Thanks in advance.

What drive is always spun up?  Disk 5?

 

From the (presumably) appdata.cfg share

# Share exists on cache,disk5

Stop the docker and vm service from Settings Tab.  Then Appdata settings, change use cache drive to be Prefer.   Then Main, run Mover.  Then re-enable the docker / vm service

Thanks I will give this a shot this afternoon when I get back home.
