Disk standby mode not working

ZimaOS
1

Hello everyone.

The disk standby feature does not work on custom device. I have the following disks installed :

  • 1 nvme 256go
  • 1 HDD 500go
  • 1 SSD 500go
  • 2 x HDD 3to RAID5

All the disks keep spinning even if the standby is set to 10 minutes. I check the disks activity using htop (IO tab).

What is your ZimaOS version? If it is below 1.3.1, try update that and see if it is solved.

I’m using ZimaOS v1.3.1-1.

Here are my iostat values (if it can help). My RAID5 is from sda to sde. 4 of my disks are plugged directlyto the motherboard and the lasts disks plugged to a PCIE/SATA card.
