I have a new ReadyNAS NV+ v2 device with two hard drives installed. I tried setting up a third drive, however readynas did not accept it as it was smaller than the first two drives. I only have the Photo Add-In installed but it is not in use.
The problem is, that the hard drives does not spin down properly, they immediately spin back up. When I check the system.log I see these entries approx. every 10 minutes:
Mar 10 13:34:00 fiber-nas noflushd[1606]: Spinning down disks. Mar 10 13:34:01 fiber-nas noflushd[1606]: Could not open /dev/sdc for spindown: No such file or directory Mar 10 13:34:36 fiber-nas last message repeated 2 times Mar 10 13:34:36 fiber-nas noflushd[1606]: Disks spinning up after 0 minutes.
Seems like it still believes that there is a third drive there, however I do not know how to remove it properly from the system.
Hopefully evan will help you out--I spent many weeks (months?) trying to get noflushd to work properly i.e. not spin disks back-up again immediately, but was never able to get it to work reliably. I finally decided that noflushd was to blame not Netgear per se, and don't even try to use it any more.
