Hi,
Openmediavault works really really great on my Raspberry pi 5 8GB with a NVME. I moved from using only raspbian OS with desktop to this: just beatifull.
I was playing with some configurations, and I ended up on the section Storage > Disk. So I selected my external HDD.
I've read online that some people set the spindown time to 5 minutes. However, I believe the HDD automatically shuts down when not in use, as after leaving it idle for several hours, I can hear it spin up again when I try to upload a file. Is it usefull? should I use it?
Also I read that Enabling the write-cache should be an advantage, because it firstly stores the file in RAM and then in the HDD, or am I wrong?
What would be the best configuration for using the system as a Samba server (I use it about once a week) and a Plex server?
Thanks everybody!
