hibernation, any way to trace activity?
« on: March 04, 2011, 06:59:38 PM »
I am on 1.07 firmware version.  I have the device set to the default hibernation settings of 5 minutes.  The device is located next to my desk and during the day I can tell it comes on randomly every so often and then goes back to sleep.  I'm the only person in the house, so that rules out anyone else accessing the device.  Perhaps there are some background processes that are requesting access to it, but I don't know how I would go about tracing this?  Are there any kind of logs that could help me figure this out?

Is it accessible from the Internet? If I FTP into mine it wakes up even before authentication.
You could try removing the Ethernet cable to rule out external access. If still no joy, it could be scheduled downloads? Do you have funplug installed?

It is not on the internet, and I've never even attempted to log into it via FTP.  I simply use it as a mapped drive on my laptop.  I will try pulling the Ethernet cable on it to see if it still does it.  My guess is perhaps being a mapped drive my Windows laptop is doing an occasional ping on it or something.  I just wish there was an easy way to tell.  I am worried whether it's bad for the drives to hibernate and wake up once an hour or so.

My point was, someone else might be ;)
E.g missing or mis-configured firewall.

Even windows indexing service can be the culprit. I won't be concerned if I were you. There is a system log you can view from the Status -> Logs web page even though it won't enlighten you much, I am afraid.
