Hi folks,
I am getting crazy with this problem and haven't found a solution during the last months I have seen this problem.
I am using OMV mainly for docker (pi-hole / plex) with some rare video playback from a compatible TV using plex.
Sadly it seems I have done somethign wrong / I am missing something. The Hard Drive (A 6TB WD NASWare/Red) doesn't stop spinning, even with no workload (the only load it could have would be when accessing one of the movies / music on there... which hasn't been done for weeks). It also scans "hard" sometimes (where it ticks/rattles while searching the disks).
I know a WD RED is supposed to function at all time, but it simply is unnerving to have this thing sucking power at all time when there simply isn't any reason. I am allready thinking about tossing the thing out and just use a dumb pi4 to do the pi-hole / smart-home stuff.
I tried to read / learn / try out things i could find while thinking / looking at threads, but I can't find the answer.
Things I have allready done over the several past months :
- updating the firmware of the HC2's controller
- turning off the plex docker (as it might try to update the database ? Not the cause apparently)
- reinstall everything
- shout at it
One idea I had, but don't know what to do with is that the Drive was in a 1-RAID before. Apparently it still believes that it is (of course without the secondary disk). Could this be the cause ? Is there a way to get the drive back to "normal" without loosing the data ?
I would be grateful to anybody willing to help me troubleshoot this...
Thanks !
