MinimServer & HDD Sleep

My point was that writing the log is itself disk activity which would presumably trigger a further log write in 10 minutes time, unless the log writes are somehow excluded from the disk activity that is being monitored.

This is a reasonable interpretation. We still need to identify the mysterious "something".

Quote:Also, I stopped it at 9/100 as, because, it had already gotten to the half hour mark (with log2) at 21:53. At 21:23 it finished logging (at 21:28 it shut the disks down) - I waited 30 mins and there was nothing else happening. The ctrl+c was at the 30 minute marker, not 21:23 as it would appear from the log. The monitor program only writes to the log if there is activity.

With log1 it exceeded the 100 test within 30 mins.

Thanks for clarifying this.

I am running a test now to see if I can get my QNAP to spin down while MinimServer is running.
