Many folks on the forum mention that their hard drives never go to sleep because some of the jail apps keep logging to the drive. Solutions to remedy this involves moving the jail to SSD or somewhere else which seems difficult to me. I was thinking of an alternate solution.
Can a startup/shutdown feature be added to the Jail configuration? The program in the jail (in my case plexmedia server) can override the shutdown if they need to be running for some reason. Once the jail app is ready to be shutdown, it can remove the override. Then, FreeNAS can determine if the jail app should be shutdown at that time and actually shut it down.
The override is important since the jail app could actively being used (someone is still watching a movie), so after an idle timeout, the jail app can remove the override.
(a side note. I wish there was a way for FreeNAS to know when my TV is pinging the server and startup the specific jail app... is there a way to do that? )
