Hi, I'm trying to increase the value of "Spin-down guard internal Hard Disk". I can't set to 0 to disable it, the range is from 5 to 30 minuntes.
I came up with a (wrong, but only for test) manual modification of web files and I'm testing it, it works but this manual mod clash with other funtions.
I'm searching also how to reset the value "Max temperature ever reached" in "Disks temperature status", because I've added two fans in the Cloudbox cause of high temp reached and testing it.
I appreciate any help.

You can disable the spindown guard, no need to use a value 0 minutes which would be same as disabling it. By disabling it you save some memory ussge as the spin down daemon will not be loaded.
Why do you want to use a value bigger then 30 minutes?
About max temperature ever reached. You can not reset that value. It is set by the disk itself. Our firmware reads this value from the control board on the hard disk.

Thanks, I'll disable it. I was testing value bigger than 30 min because I'm using the nas as ps3 net server and during a playing session at some point games are waiting to load data from the awakening nas.

what exactly are you looking for?
Disabling the spin down guard? That you can do in the webinterface (disk menu)

I just reinstalled the 18.3 firmware and followed the patch04 instructions and still the same issue. My workaround right now is to ssh into the machine and "killall noflushd" but this is not a good long term solution...
