ReadyNAS Duo refuses to spin down Seagate ST31000524AS
I have 'Enable disk spin-down after..' selected but the two identical 1TB discs refuse to spin down. The logs show no sign of spindown.
This is the only info I have...does anyone know of a solution?

- What version of RAIDiator?
What services are you running? What add-ons do you have installed?
Are you using WINS? - Hi there.
RAIDiator 4.1.7
Services:
Protocols: CIFS, NFS, AFP, HTTP
Streaming: iTunes
Discovery Services: Bonjour, UPnP
No installed add-ons.
I appreciate your quick reply to my original question, btw. Thank you. - Could you download the logs (Status > Logs > Download all logs), extract the zip contents and look for references to spinning up and spindown in system.log
If you're running a Mac, you can open the log in the Console and search for a string matching to just look for the references you want. - According to the log, the discs have been spinning down and starting up again hours later - but I could swear that I could hear (and sense when touching the NAS case) the discs spinning.
With access to the logs, I'll monitor more closely tonight when the unit won't be accessed and see if anything has changed (I've removed backup jobs, rsync, etc.).
I appreciate your help thus far. Thanks again.
