Spin Down Disc

[Redleh]

Hi,

I am having some problems with my NAS.
I have configure to spin down the disc, after some time, but I have notice that it does spin down, and after 2sec. it spins up again.
Has any one have the issue?

Thanks.

It means something is running on the nas waking it up, for example a media server or transmission torrent client

In the next release we will add a command that also uses the hardware standby feature of a HDD (if it supports it)
Are you able to connect via ssh ?
if yes connect at give this command on the linux command prompt

Code: Select all

smartctl --set=standby,120 /dev/sda

this will enable the tstandby time in the firmware of your hard disk and it will go to standby 10 minutes after inactivity=no read or write requests.
