disks don't spin down

Post by hbueno »

I recently upgraded from Freenas 0.7.2 to Nas4free 9.1. After the upgade, I have noticed that the hard drives no longer spin down when not in use. This is true whether the power saving is enabled or disabled. Is this a known problem? If yes, is there a fix?

Yes, it is a known problem due to deprecation of atacontrol. The adaptation to camcontrol is work in progress.

Have you tried:

It works like a charm, even after the upgrade to the newest version!
