(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? unraidserver-diagnostics-20200424-0126.zip Edited April 24, 20206 yr by mbc0

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

April 24, 20206 yr Author 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.

April 24, 20206 yr Author 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)
April 24, 20206 yr Author the only way I can stop the drives being accessed is if I boot to safe mode with no plugins running

April 24, 20206 yr According to that screenshot set, you have client(s) accessing the shares and files from across the network.
