noflushd broken on Ultra 4 Plus running 4.2.19
My brand-new Ultra 4 Plus with (4) identical drives appeared to be only spinning down the first two (sda and sdb). This is evidenced by the health screen that only shows two drives sleeping with no t...
Tried the beta, with no change of behavior as far as noflushd is concerned. However, I poked around and came up with a "solution", in manner of speaking.
If I modify the stock noflushd binary so that it thinks my serial number has something less than 0x16 in positions 4-5, it works as expected. All four disks are detected at startup, and spin down after 20 minutes. For example, using 2HU4150C017CF instead of 2HU4190C017CF has the desired effect. This is definitely a bug in the disk_info logic I pointed out in my original post.
It's an ugly fix, but it works. In other news, 'bvi' is amazingly handy once again :) I can live with my kludge, but it would still be worthwhile for a Netgear developer to review this information and commit a real fix.
Thanks,
Dave
