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 spinup again. I only had one app installed which was plex but I have disabelled that but its not fixed it. any suggestions would be great but im suspecting that this is a bug with OS6.6

- With all due respect, the "v6.6 upgrade" isn't exactly issue free is it?
All I did was using a hex editor to change the version number in an official v6.4.2 file to v6.6. I hardly see it introducing any problem, other the bugs inherently with v6.4.2. Hey at least my hard drive isnt sufferring...With the core OS upgrade there are some major changes to the core OS. Installing the older core OS over the top of the new one can lead to some weird issues. Of course if you want to backup your data, do a factory reset (wipes all data, settings, everything) and restore your data from backup that is a bit diffferent. However you can brick some systems attempting certain downgrades.
Did you try the package from Skywalker before you downgraded?
- Unfortunately I did the downgrade before skywalker replied with that patch.
Since spindown working fine now I prefer leaving it be. For me all I want is a reliable and efficient network drive and I got that now. Will update to 6.6 or higher version once the prolem is confirmed to be resolved.
Maybe someone else can offer help on testing the patch?I don't use spin down anymore, but I remember, under 4.x firmwares , UPnP, Netbios, an NTP used to wake up the disks for no good reason. Disabling this protocols/function was the only solution for having decent "spin down" time.
Don't know if it can help with 6.6.x firmwares.

Of course OS activity can wake the disks up, since the OS runs of the disks.
Netgear is clearly working on the problem. I don't see much need to experiment right now, it's easy enough to disable spin-down for a little while if it is misbehaving.
Just adding my name to the list of people with the spindown/spinup issue since going to 6.6. Hope there is a fix soon, it's highly annoying. I'm running RAID 1 with 4TB WD40EFRX drives.
I posted a fix earlier in this thread. We also released 6.6.1 Beta 1 on the community yesterday, which addresses spindown.
I installed the Beta some days ago and it seems to fix the problem. :smileyvery-happy:
Same Issue here. I´m on 6.6.1 firmware version

Performing the steps that dacwe comments, it seems to work again. Although there are periods when the disks should not spinup.

They might explain some of the spinups.
so any update? any progress? anything at all?
yes many things can cause spin-up, but spin-up every few minutes is not normal.
come on...
- hi stephen, sorry the question wasn't meant for you specifically but more of a general one towards netgear moderators.
but i am frustrated.Have you tried using the blockdump option to get more verbose logs?
mdgm-ntgras I mentioned above, I sent verbose logs >10 days ago. I've heard nothing.
More verbose logs would be a help, yes. Please also make sure that you include a link to your thread in your email.
Another set of verbose logs emailed.
Hopefully we can reduce electricity use, carbon emmissions and prevent climate change before the earth dies...
Hi Guys
Anyone got any update on this? Is it every gonna be properly fixed¬
Still no news?
it's incredible, all this time and lot of firmware updates, and the problem is not resolved.
This is a basilar function, not asking for the moon!
Please guys, fix it, thanks
I have the RN214 with the OS 6.8.0 which has still the issue that wakes up after 1min that the disks have been spinned down.
