Hey all.
My FreeNAS array is a home setup that's not used by more than two people at any time. So to save power/heat I have the hard disks set to sleep after 20 minutes in the WebGUI. Is there any way to determine that they are, indeed, going to sleep?
The reason I ask, is when I open up the NAS, say in the finder on my MacBook Pro, it just pops right up with no delay, I can instantly access my files. Not that I'm complaining, but I would expect a second or two delay before I can see my files as the drives spin up. It behaves as if the drives ARE spun up and running all the time.
Thoughts?
