Pro Pioneer - Spin Down working or not ?
I can't seem to get any response from my Pro Pioneer on Spin Down. Either it's working and doesn't want to tell me OR it's not working ! I have 4 Seagate 2TB ST32000542AS drives with a 60min spin ...
Does anyone know why the ReadyNas keeps spinning up constantly? Here's an excerpt from my log files last night; there are no lines omitted:

I have an NVX running 4.2.13.
I can't find any logs where any activity occurred during these times and I am positive no one was accessing the device (there are only two users in the house and we were both in bed all night). There are no scheduled background tasks running, either, and I have time synchronization turned off.
This certainly is not saving much power and it's really bad for the disks.
