ReadyNAS OS V6.9.3 - Discs don't spindown - still
Unfortunately I couldn't add to one of the number of other threads about this that go back to antiquity, which would have shown this is a long outstanding problem.
After every few updates I turn on spindown and hold my breath.
Every time I have been disappointed.
Including this time.
A represetative sample of the log, it just goes keeps on trying...but never get satisfaction...

Hi Michael_Oz,
Did you do any other job when you were doing Spinning down?

Yes & No. Not for the period of the snippet shown, or for that day, when it did the same 91 (times 6 drives) other times that day.
I do not typically access the NAS during the day & not on that day.
On a previous day, a Defrag was running, it did not try to spindow while it was runing, then tried after it finished.
Of the ~2000 attempts (divide by 6 drives) in the log, covering ~6 days, the longest time down was 18 seconds with 90%<12s.
Do you have any apps installed?
