snuffy47 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 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 tower-syslog-20190702-1345.zip Quote Link to comment
Just Me Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I have the same problem running unRAID 6.7.2, all my drives won't spin down. I've set all drives to spin down in one hour, the server is running for 90 minutes now but all drives are till awake. Any ideas? nas-diagnostics-20190705-1103.zip Quote Link to comment

Just Me Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment

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. 1 Quote Link to comment
Just Me Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) I can set FCP to run hourly or daily. If I choose hourly and skip spun down drives should I set the spin down delay to 45 minutes to avoid the background scan from keeping the drives awake?
