Drives waking up from suspend by themselves.
« on: December 30, 2008, 08:23:55 AM »
This is more noticeable after the 1.06 upgrade but the drives seems to wake up from suspend by themselves more frequently. It actually woke me up from sleep a few times last night. I have the setting to suspend the drives at 5 minutes, am i missing something else? I don't have anything or anyone else accessing the drives at night. All pcs are off. I had a factory reset done after the 1.06 firmware as well. Any way to turn on a logging mode or debug mode to see why the drives are waking up?

There is no logging facility.

You mention the drives "waking up", so I would assume they do at some point go to sleep.

For starters I would disconnect the network cable to see if the cause is external to the unit - it it continues to happen with the network cable disconnected it'll be an internal process causing them to spin up - check (disable) the servers - ftp, iTunes, uPnPAV and clear the print queue.

RAID1 is for disk redundancy - NOT data backup - don't confuse the two.

I only have upnpav and ftp turned on. I'll try unplugging the ethernet tonight. Thanks for the suggestions, if anyone else has this issue please let me know if it's "normal".

I unplugged from the network, turned off everything. Same thing.  The drives seem to spin up from sleep: when the clock turns :01, i.e. 12:01 , 12:11, 12:21 . it's very strange.

 I have to turn off at night or move it out of my bedroom(also my office). Anyone else notice this or do I have a isolated problem.  I guess I could just turn it off at night.

Try resetting the device back to factory defaults and reconfigure this may help.

I already have reset to factory after the 1.06 upgrade. I guess at this point i just need to deal with it and shut off the drive when not in use.

Everything off, upnpav, no itunes, no ntp(time set manually), no ddns, no printer, no ftp, static ip
2 ST31000340AS Seagate 1TB drives in Raid 1.

I'm hoping compiling these posts will persuade someone to look into the issue.
