Like the tittle said, my disks are having some sort of activity every 5 seconds or so, which is notable by their LED as well as a clunking noise. I know that this is usually because TrueNAS writes it's logs on the system dataset which is installed on the first data pool. But this behavior remains even after moving the system dataset to the boot pool (which is on an NVME drive).
I'm having this issue on my 2 systems. My main system is a TrueNAS mini x+ with TrueNAS core 12. On that system the activity seems to be related to the jails that i have running, which makes sense because I have grafana in one of them. I can confirm this because the noise go away if i stop all my jails. So, the solution for this system would be to move the jails to an SSD.
However, that doesn't explain why my second system is doing this. It is a qnap ts-253d with TrueNAS core 13.1 and no jails. The system dataset was also moved to the boot pool. The weird part is that I'm able to spin down the disks of this system which means that the disk activity is not related to any reads/writes.
Then I thought that maybe, because my disks are WD red pros, this noise could be their PWL "Feature". But, if that was the case, why would it stop when i turn off the jails of my main system?
I ran S.M.A.R.T. and everything is normal without high number of load cycles or anything which kinds of confirms it is not PWL.
Do any of you have a suggestion on things to try to silence this clinking noise?
