I'm having a spindown-up problem in the disks of my snapraid array.
I have four disks in the SR array and six in ZFS. As I only use the server at nights, I thought about putting the disks to sleep.
I configured all disks to APM = 1 and 20 minutes wait.
Then I noticed that there was heavy spin up-down, and thought that the drives in the ZFS where the culprit, as they are used by virtualbox, owncloud, mysql... so I deactivated APM and time on them.
But I continued hearing disks waking and sleeping so I started to monitor them. I tried to dump all hdd activity to syslog, using iotop and a custom script that showed processes, files and device, but didn't find anything being accessed on the SR array. All the activity was on the system disk.
So I deactivated all APM options on all disks, but guess what, two disks continue to respawn. Those two disks are the last ones I bought. They are 2tb seagates and are sleeping for 1-2 minutes, then wake and immediately sleep again, in loop.
I'm afraid they will break soon.
Is that a problem with OMV disk management for newer disks? Anyone knows how to stop this?
