readynas 31400 hdd access when idle
good morning everyone i have noticed over the last several weeks my rn31400 is making access noises when not in use/idle every minute or so it makes a sound like its accessing the hard disks ...
What app can you not remove?
im not quite sure how to read the graphs but volume throughput/operations per second are in the minus , i can see a bit of network usage but no idea why as nothing should be accessing it
the app i cannot remove is the utorrent app , i try and uninstall it says uninstall failed
doesnt show on the main page that its running but on the apps page its still there with a broken image logo
Just a long shot but have you tried re-installing Utorrent, then maybe a reboot, then uninstall Utorrent?

If you look at the colors in the legend under the graph, you'll see that the NAS is graphing writes as negative, and reads as positive. That just makes it easier to see then both.
So it looks like something is writing to the NAS hard drive.
Try disconnecting the NAS network cable, and see if the activity stops.
so i have checked the graphs and it appears something is definatley writing to the hdd every one minute or so as shown below
tried to remove utorrent , wont allow me , its not listed in avalible apps so i cannot re-install and it wont allow me to launch it
i will have to remove the networkncable and see if it continues to write
okay it would appear that i have brought the writes down quite substantially , it would appear that the dropbox cloud sync was causing a write to the drive every minute for some reason , once i disabled that option , wirtes now have a big gap on the grid
im not near the drive to see if its less noisey but id assume it would be now :)
i still cannot remove the utorrent app but i dont think its causing any issues
thanks for everyones input
