Disks fail to spin down 3 weeks after upgrade
Perhaps coincidental.. Upgraded a ReadyNas duo v1 to 2 x 1TB Seagate drives (from "approved" list). All seemed fine after couple restarts (file operations, and media streaming fine) for 3 weeks or so...
noflushd is the program that's responsible for idle-disk spindown.
Are you sure that your disks were spinning down before? If so, you might want to try this: Turn spindown off in Frontview, reboot, then turn spindown back on and reboot again.
Also... What disks were in your NAS before you recently replaced them? And have you recently installed any new addons (or updated old addons, especially your media-streaming addon)?
