Title: Hibernation
Post by: mauzzz on July 26, 2009, 10:13:19 AM

With 1.07 en 1.08 beta hibernation (set at 5 min) doesn't seem to work. My DNS-323 temperature never goes below 44 C / 111 F. So today I pulled the network cable to check if anything on my network was keeping the NAS awake. After 6 hours its still at 44 C. So I presume the disks never spin down. Can anyone duplicate this?

It works for me (both 1.07 and 1.08 beta) did you reset the unit to default after flashing?

Did a reset and pulled the cable. No services (itunes, ftp) or add-ons (BT) enabled. Next morning it is still at 45 C. How do you get this thing to sleep? I have two WD Caviar Green 500 Gb in RAID1.

For a minute I was wondering what the heck hibernation & temperature had to do with one another.

If you want to know whether the unit is in hibernation or not - just look at the front panel lights - if the D-Link logo/power button is backlit, it's active, if the logo is dim, it's hibernated - get the idea?

Now let's go back to my question - did you reset the unit to default after flashing the firmware?

Yes, went to default, pulled the cable, logo will not dim.

About temperature: I have the NAS in a cupboard were I can't see it. So looking the temperature is the easiest. It seems quite obvious to me that at a temp of 45 C the device is not sleeping.

Do you have any further suggestions?

Ok it now works without network cable. Will have to search my network what is keeping it awake.

As a matter of fact - yes - are your elevated temperatures the result of the unit not hibernating - or - the result of operating it in a closed cupboard with no proper ventilation?
