Spin down seems not to be working after firmware update

The last entry matching noflush were succesful spindowns on Oct 26. After that, no such entries appear. Am I correct in assuming this means no spin-down attempt has been made?

Correct, that would tell me that you did something on 10/26 that stopped noflushd from running. Have you done any reboots since then? If not, by all means do a System reboot. Oh, I'm running 4.1.4 atm so forgot something obvious: look in your processes.log to see if noflushd is running. Its command should look like e.g. "noflushd -v -n 15" for 15 minutes for example. Even if it is there in your logs, I would try a reboot.

It seems you are using your NAS as a DHCP server, and gizmo .36 wants to renew its lease every 4 hours (why I dunno, since 28800 is 8 hrs afaik?) but you certainly have your spin-down set for less than 240 minutes, yes? I don't use DHCP but doubt it requires a Read operation on your HDDs which will cause a spin-up.

Also, I notice you've not put a proper time server into the ReadyNAS clock setting; it's not affecting spindown but you should do this right anyway (unless your NAS is not connected to the 'net).
