extinct_waffle Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hi all, I'm new to UnRaid having only recently built my first UnRaid server. Disk1 won't stay spun down for some reason (which is keeping my parity disk up as well). Everything should be running off of the Cache drive, I've used the "Active Streams", "File Activity" and "Open Files" plugins to try and diagnose the issue, but no luck. I've disabled all dockers bar pihole and no VM's currently running, yet it's still spinning up. I've looked around the forums and reddit and tried some of the suggestions (disable dockers run mover, plugins etc) but can't work it out at all, any help would be really appreciated. I've included the diagnostics and the output of the "Open Files" plugin to try and help. Thanks tower-diagnostics-20201106-0855.zip Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 You seem to have files for the ‘appdata’ and ‘system share on both the cache drive and disk1. If you are running any dockers or VMs this will keep disk1 spun up. if you disable the docker and VM services to ensure they are not holding any files open and manually run mover from the Main tab they should be moved to the cache.. You can then re-enable these services 1 Quote Link to comment

extinct_waffle Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 You guys are geniuses, that's fixed it straight away! I though it was enough to just turn off the dockers, I never though about turning off the services before running the mover, but thinking about it now, of course that makes perfect sense! All disks spun down now and happily running off of the Cache. Thank you Quote Link to comment
