Disk spin-down problem, RN104, fw 6.2.0
Hello, I'm using RN104, 2 x 4GB WD RED in JBOD/Flex mode (I need no raid). No apps installed, samba, dlna services stopped to debug this issue. Http/https/ssh - enabled. I've enabled disk spin down...
Right a read will fix it, but if the leg with the problem is not read it sits there like a time bomb, then the drive with the good leg fails for some other reason and now your last copy has this latent read error. You avoid this by forcing a read on both legs. Really I would bet this is all it does as this is a pretty well understood problem. There is another way they may be doing this that is much more efficient, but it's disk vendor dependent and I doubt netgear would go there.
