plugin disk not turning off

[paul]

Hey guys so i just come home and i went to my rack and i turn the fan off thinking the hard drives would of gone off but one did not and the drive burned out :( bad air flow but i did tell to spin down within 30 mins and i don't know why it would not spin down
any way i sent the hard drive away and got a new one today and i been trying to see if it shuts down for plugins but it dose not :( and i have no idea why i'm justing running it DLAN thats it and the light stop flashing when its not in use but dose not spin down WTF

any way it's run by usb and i have two others run by usb but it dose power down ?

it's just plugins doing it :(

any help would be good sorry for spelling as i'm jet lagged badly

You need to use a Cron job, do a search, it's been asked here a lot.

The problem is some of the services in the jail log to disk, killing/stop cron and sendmail or changing the logging locations for the two seem to do the trick.
