Cron.daily Spinning Up Disks
My disks are spinning up after sleeping even though no one was accessing my ReadyNAS Pro. Looking at the log files I came across the following. C:\System_log-nas-AB-12-34-20120829-094628\cron.l...

My interpretation of this is that “cron.daily” was called at 06:25:01 by “crontab” and that a file in the “cron.daily” directory caused the disks to wakeup.
So how can I determine what file is being executed in the cron.daily directory causing my disks to spin up?
Check /var/log/cron.log, which logs each cronjob (and each 'step' of system cronjobs like cron.daily)
But I think all of those steps you posted would spin up the disks.
These jobs are launched from the system cron, in /etc/crontab (this is not the same as the root users crontab)
You could edit this file as root, and change the times they are due to run.
Just be careful to keep everything else the same as they syntax differs slightly from the normal user crontab.
