loady Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I have all my appdata folder on the cache drive, i have read that PLEX can cause a disk to remain spun up at all times, i cant see what if this is the issue with my setup, i had a look at open files but there are lots and possibly most are system files so i dont know what to do to find out whats doing it or how to stop it, i added a diags to this post. warptower-diagnostics-20200923-1025.zip Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Where is this file located? '/mnt/user/docker.img' Since you've told it to store it in the root of one of the disks we can't tell which disk it may actually be on. (Ie: from Main explorer each disk until you find it) Additionally, run the filesystem checks on disk 3 https://wiki.unraid.net/Check_Disk_Filesystems Quote Link to comment

With regard to file system check on disk 3, i have just rebuilt that drive today after repairing a corrupt filesystem, disk 2 and parity have been spun up ever since Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 The docker image will always be on a single device, in your case probably disk 2 Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Perfectly plausible to have copies of docker.img on multiple disks, but only one will be the currently used copy. Recommend you delete the extraneous ones. Quote Link to comment

Then how do I go about stopping disk 2 being spun up all the time Quote Link to comment

This is also desirable from a performance perspective. Quote Link to comment

loady Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 also, is it normal for other system files to be on the array disks ? Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 No unless you've copied them there, or messed up a command or something. .cache, .local, .screen, mdcmd are probably remnants of whatever you did. Quote Link to comment

Think its safe to delete them or just leave them be ?...probably from the early days when i had even less of a clue Quote Link to comment
SLNetworks Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Is there a way to copy docker.img to a cache drive within Krusader, stop the Docker service and re-map it to the cache pool? Quote Link to comment
