Drives keep spinning up


Hackerjac

Recommended Posts

I have a n36l with hacked bios (for use of e-sata port), 4 GB ram and latest bootloader and update 3 from syno

 

My problem is that arround every hour the drives spins up for 5 min and then go to sleep, another hour later the same thing is happening

Anyone know a solution to this problem ?

have you checked to see if any background apps or other processes might be causing the machine to 'wake up'? eg media server scanning or a client connecting to the server, a network service. You could use a network analysis tool to check traffic to your lan ports and see what might be triggering the situation. maybe check the system logs too.

As the wake-ups are 'randomly spaced' I would suspect some external factor. A network service request from another device. Maybe check and disable 'unwanted' protocols, upnp. Maybe also check for ntp and dns traffic. If you have samba/windows shares, it could be a machine with mapped drives 'reconnecting'. From your logs, there were big gaps 'overnight' so maybe that ties in with another machine not being used?
