EDA500 humming noise + spin down?
Has anyone experienced a humming noise comming out of the EDA500? It seems to last about 3 seconds, then it stops for 3 seconds, and then starts again. Sort of like waves at the ocean. This happen...

From the symptoms, it sounds like the disks in the EDA are spinning down - but then spinning back up again.
Download the log zip file (from the logs page in the web UI). Open systemd-journal.log and search for "spin". Then you can see the spin down/spin up times.
If you have ssh enabled, you can also enter journalctl | grep -i spin on the linux command line.
