Beta should be perfectly safe, it's the same as v6.8.3 just with a newer kernel.

ok, thank you!

Something is going on there, that array activity is not normal, what if you boot in safe mode? (still leaving all VMs/dockers disable)

OK, 

 

I restarted in safe mode and there is no disk activity, rebooted to normal mode but without docker & vm manager running and I still have disk activity.

 

 

I have removed unbalance and a couple of others I am not using but still the same.  here is a list of the other plugins I still have installed, nothing that I would have thought required constant array access?

Cache dirs constantly reads drives. If you don't have enough RAM to keep the entries cached, it keeps the drives spun and reading.

Hi,

 

Is this spec not enough to keep the entries cached?

Depends on the number of file entries. Remove it and see if the activity stops.

I know it is 2.am here but I am so sorry, I do not know what you want me to remove? in my head a cache dir is setting a share to use cache drive?

It's a plugin. Click on the checkbox then the remove button on the Dynamix Cache Directories entry on the Installed Plugin page that you posted a screenshot.

[mbc0]

ok, sorry about that!

 

Removed, refreshed, waited a couple of mins, still all disks randomly being accessed.

Your docker containers and VM manager is running.

[mbc0]

yes, it is now but it makes no difference if they are stopped, I still have the same problem (previous entries and attachments show this on this thread)

[mbc0]

the only way I can stop the drives being accessed is if I boot to safe mode with no plugins running

Stop them and get the open files list.

According to that screenshot set, you have client(s) accessing the shares and files from across the network.

Something on the network is reading the files on your server. Does the activity stop if you temporarily disconnect your internet service?

[mbc0]

just seen a large spike and managed to capture it! what can be reading ALL of the disks??

 

 

 

 

[JonathanM]

Can you access the Unraid GUI from another device temporarily and disconnect the network from your main PC?

[mbc0]

This is with the router switched off for 1 minute, nearly 80mb/s !
