Why are my NAS's disks spinning up after ~2 1/2 hrs sleep?
Hi. I've very recently bought a ReadyNAS Ultra2 and stuffed it with 2x2TB (WD Caviar Green) disk. SW: RAIDiator 4.2.19 Addons: ReadyNAS Photos II, ReadyNAS Skifta, ReadyNAS Remote and EnableRootS...
Yup, the 02 and 04 spinups sure looks tied to the two scripts mentioned earlier.

However, it has been sleeping a lot lately...

Oct 26 19:24:20 MyNAS noflushd[1735]: Disks spinning up after 2360 minutes.
I just stopped the avahi (Bonjour?) service it was puking a lot of
avahi-daemon[2600]: Received response with invalid source port 32788 on interface 'eth1.0'
probably due to my squeezebox sending something it couldn't interpret every 30th second.
I wonder if avahi was left on since I played with AFP (now disabled).
I also decided to deactivate TiVo since it seemed to do some stuff at about 02:00 every morning (and I've got no use of it right now).
The hunt continues...
