RN528X drives constantly spinning even after a reboot, what is causing this?!
RN528X drives are being accessed, or are doing self-maintenance, or something, 24/7 and it's driving my wife nuts. I've tried looking at "Logging" - nothing there. How can I diagnose what the drives ...
The scheduled maintenance tasks (defrag, balance, disk test, scrub) would show up in the logs.
Do you use the file search feature or have antivirus enabled? Is the volume status saying it is degraded?
Have you downloaded the log zip file, and looked in there (particularly at the disk health info in disk-info.log)? There's a lot of info in the log zip that isn't shown in the web ui.

Hi StephenB ,
- File search is enabled, as is anti-virus. Are you suggesting one or both be disabled?
- Downloaded logs, dozens of files... where to look and what to look for?
- Under System--> Volumes the little pie chart and text don't indicate "degraded"... opened Settings (small wheel in the box containing pie chart), don't see anything in there that indicates "degraded". Where to look otherwise?

Those are the right places. If the volume isn't degraded, then it isn't resyncing (which would explain the disk activity).

Both will generate disk activity when you aren't connected to the NAS. Perhaps try disabling file search first, and see if that helps.

Disabled File Search and Anti-Virus, no change. Opened every log file, found a few errors but unclear if they are the issue:
