Readynas OS 6.6 drives wont spindown

Hi, I recently upgraded to OS6.6 on my RN104, never had a problem with disk spindown before but soon as I have upgraded the disks dont really spindown anymore, they spindown for about 10 seconds then...

    Mine are spinning down, though I am not running RAID.

        Here's what I am seeing - some short spin-up times, but several spindowns for hours.

         

        I already sent a PM on the readahead error with the WD60EFRX.
