Hello dear forum,
Im new here, so if I made any mistakes by posting into the wrong subthread pls be kind:)
My hardware is in my signature.
The current OS Version is: TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.1
My issue is, that my Pool1 consisting of 3x Seagate ironwolf drives does have a strange IO behavior. As in: only 2 of the 3 drives are repeatedly written to with like 2-8kbit at idle. My containers and VMs are running on the SSD and my System Datapool is on my SSD aswell(at least I think so, as my bootSSD has even more activity). No Container or VM has been given access to this pool. Only SMB shares are configured, but even when disabling the SMB Service, the writes continue.
Why this is bothering me, is because at least right now i have to sleep in the same room with this server, and therefore i have configured the drives to spin down after a certain time, so at night this server is completly silent. The 1 drive of this pool which does not get IO activity is also spinning down, but the other two do not. The question is, how can this even be, if this is ONE ZFS POOL? Is it not supposed to be written to simulaneosly?
See attached image for reference.
Thank you for your time and effort,
Best regards
