MinimServer & HDD Sleep

[MikeSpragg]

Hi Simon, the log file isn't being appended to (just assumed it was). If MinimServer is switched off as an app - disks go to sleep.

If MinimServer is running - just prior to the 5 min mark I then see:

============= 15/100 test, Thu Apr 17 16:23:19 BST 2014 ===============

or

============= 16/100 test, Thu Apr 17 16:24:54 BST 2014 ===============
<4>[198378.724501] kjournald(3809): WRITE block 282816 on md13 (8 sectors)
<4>[198378.725005] md13_raid1(366): WRITE block 7797308216 on sdg (8 sectors)
....

Then nothing happens - and just before disks are due to sleep (5 mins) - the above repeats:


<4>[198505.218966] md13_raid1(366): WRITE block 7797308208 on sdh (8 sectors)
<4>[198505.235114] md13_raid1(366): WRITE block 7796248680 on sdh (8 sectors)

<4>[198505.452094] md13_raid1(366): WRITE block 7797308208 on sdh (8 sectors)

As if it's continually writing to somewhere. The ohNet is set to Default for logs. The MinimServer log is Info.

It's odd - in that it started happening around the time you release a whole lot of updates for MinimServer 0.8.x - and the disks have never slept since! And, if I turn off Minim, it reverts to normal.
Something has to be keeping it awake and it must be from Minim (or linked modules - JRE?).
