Only one drive goes to sleep

Hi!

Some weeks ago I updated my ReadyNAS Duo to version 4.1.8 (the final version) and was happy that it finally is working with Mac OS X Lion. But after the update I found out that it seems to only put one drive to sleep. I have configured it to put my two drives to sleep after 10 minutes inactivity.
But the problem is when I access the NAS after the drives has gone to sleep (or are supposed to) I can only hear one drive wake up. Before the update I could hear my two drives wake up.

Does anyone else has this problem?
I hope this can be fixed because it feels unnecessary to have them running all the time when I'm not using them...
I'm attaching some links to my logs if it can help you to find out the problem.

Thanks!

  • Update:
    I think I have solved my problem (hopefully). What I did was to swap the drives with each other.
    I can now hear both drives spinning up after sleep once again...for now :)
