Disks spinning down too often in the ReadyNAS Duo v2
I have the ReadyNAS Duo v2 and, as others have noticed, this puppy sure spins down its disks very quickly (to save the planet!). This is great and all...in theory...but when I'm streaming small audio ...

2) Edit /etc/default/services using vi (see MAN page) and add the line "NOFLUSHD=240" (no quotes). This should change the spin-down time to every four hours I think. On the Duo v2 if the NOFLUSHD option isn't in /etc/default/services (it won't be unless you manually set it via SSH) then it will automatically be set to 10 minutes.
