Hi,

this topic has been discussed several times however after 2 Hours of reading I did niot find a solution. Maybe I missed something.

Goal is to send my HDDs in standby (Spin-Down) after 1 hour of no usage.

Here's the screenshot for it (It's 5 Minutes just for testing purpose)

I also deactivated most of bthe services (Just for testing)

Unfortunately the HHDs do not spin Down and Standby. There's definitely no PC accessing (Shut down everything). So I wonder what could be missing.

Thanks

S

Where is your system dataset?

Also what is your system configuration (according to the forum rules, you should supply that when you ask a question to help others see the context)?

Hi,

thank you very much for your quick answer and sorry for my late one. My system Dataset is on a different POOL - I checked it again to be really sure.

Code:
OS Version:
FreeNAS-11.2-BETA1
(Build Date: Jul 6, 2018 22:29)

Processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1235L v5 @ 2.00GHz (4 cores)
Memory: 16 GB


Thanks S

To borrow from a post from @Elliot Dierksen , you could try:
lsof | egrep '^COMMAND|/mnt/poolname'

To see which files are holding the drive spinning, maybe this will give you a clue to work with.

Hi,

thanks a lot for this information

Code:
nas# lsof | egrep '^COMMAND|/mnt/LPS'
lsof: WARNING: compiled for FreeBSD release 11.0-RELEASE; this is 11.1-STABLE.
COMMAND	PID	   USER   FD	 TYPE			 DEVICE		   SIZE/OFF   NODE NAME
smbd	  3680	   root	9r	VDIR	  117,357695584				 10	  4 /mnt/LPS/ShareLps
smbd	  3680	   root   34r	VDIR	 118,2276720645				  8	  4 /mnt/LPS/Videos
smbd	  3680	   root   35r	VDIR	  117,357695584				 10	  4 /mnt/LPS/ShareLps
smbd	  3680	   root   39r	VDIR	 118,2276720645				  8	  4 /mnt/LPS/Videos
smbd	  3680	   root   43r	VDIR	  117,357695584				 10	  4 /mnt/LPS/ShareLps
smbd	  3766	   root  cwd	 VDIR	 118,2276720645				  8	  4 /mnt/LPS/Videos


So what I see here is only the Samba Service right? If this would block the drives from spinning down this would really confuse me. I have used Freenas over years and there have been no problems with the Spin Down as far as I remeber.
(Of course I did not test every feature in every release)
However after a clean & Fresh install of the the actual Beta no Spin Down. Maybe the Beta causes the Problem if so I would just wait until the next stable.

If you need any Debug Files or so please let me know and I will provide.

Thanks S

Hi Again,

I just upgraded to latest Version. But still no way to sent the HDDS to Standby.

Code:
OS Version:
FreeNAS-11.2-BETA3

(Build Date: Sep 10, 2018 1:18)

		
Processor:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1235L v5 @ 2.00GHz (4 cores)

		
			
Memory:
16 GiB
					


Is it possible that there's a bug? It worked with the smae Hardware on older Freenas Version (FN 11.1) without any issue.
Any idea?

Attached find my settings

According to: https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...ut-if-a-drive-is-spinning-down-properly.2068/
Code:
root@nas[~]# ./standby_check
ADA2: 50 00 00 F0 00 00 00 00 00 FF 00 -- ADA3: 50 00 00 F0 00 00 00 00 00 FF 00
ADA4: 50 00 00 F0 00 00 00 00 00 FF 00 -- ADA5: 50 00 00 F0 00 00 00 00 00 FF 00

Result after 30 Minutes - Still Up

I see you're showing Advanced Power Management as disabled for all drives... ?

Hi,

thanks for your reply. I thought it would not be necessary to configure the Advanced options for the spindown. Anyway I set to Level 1 but it didn't change anything - still no spindown.

Any ideas?

Thanks S
