[RN202-100NES] Spin-down not working - wake up after seconds

Hello Guys :)

 

I am new on ReadyNas devices, but have the following problem:

The Hard Drives itself spins down, but after some seconds its spins up again. Didnt matter which time I choose for spindown!

 

I already tried do deinstall all Apps without success

and tried to change all cronjobs only executed once a day, also without success I would say.

 

I am NOT using antivirus or antivirus plus.

 

Using: ReadyNAS RN202-100NES

HDDs: 2x ST2000DM001-9YN164 (2TB Seagate with 7200RPM) (Devices are in Compability List)

Firmware: ReadyNAS OS 6.4.1

 

 

I already made the trick with "echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump" for over an hour an created a logfile.

But I didnt know anything about it.

 

Hope anybody can help ? :/

    Can you try turning off IPv6 temporarily to see if the device remains in spindown mode?

    Well can you send in that log zip file (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

     

    Which services are you running?

      The logfile is on the way...

       

      I hope you mean the Services which I can setup on ReadyNAS OS webinterface ?

       

      The following Service are running: SMB, HTTP, HTTPS, SSH

        Yes, those. As you mentioned uninstalling all your apps, I would conclude there are no apps running.
