All Hard Drives not spinning down


Recommended Posts

Hello All

 

It seems I have a problem with my Drives spinning down.  I actually only noticed since I added a drive and upgrade capacity of another :)

 

No all of them though

Parity and Disk 6 (SDB) will spin down (these are on a sata card)

 

Disk 1 through 5 will not on their own (these are from Mobo)

 

I now have them all set to spin down in 1 hour - but still no luck

 

If I spin them down manually they seem to stay down

 

System log attached

 

Thanks for the help

It was set to hourly, so I guess fix common problems keeps my drives awake to perform hourly tests. Thanks for the hint.

 

mea culpa.

You can also set FCP to "Avoid Disk Spinups", in which case any drive which is spun down won't get spun back up to run its tests.  Doesn't help though if the drives aren't spinning down in the first place due to FCP running too often.
