Hello forum members. Sorry, I'm just learning English and use a translator.
I became the owner of f2-423 tos5 and I have several questions for the developers.
1) I have 1 nvme disk and 1 hdd in my configuration. When initializing, I select nvme for the system (raid is a single disk). After rebooting, I put an ext4 partition on the entire hdd space (raid is a single disk). But along with the partition, the operating system partitions also appear. Why? I don't want to use a slow disk for the operating system, but tos5 does it itself.
2) I left the f2-423 on for a week. It is connected only to a home router, there are no programs on it, no tasks. But several times a day the hdd starts working hard for 10 minutes. What scheduled tasks in TOS5 reduce the resource of my disk? Are there any backdoors among them?
3) I can format the entire hdd to ext4 via terminal, but the system does not see the partition. How can I delete junk partitions and get the full disk space for myself?

That is how Tos5 works. The partitions are not 'junk' they are active raid1 mirrors of the os and swap partitions. Tos 6 will be slightly different and you can choose up to two drives for the os partitions

You can open a terminal and run the following command to see a count of processes reading or writing to the disk every 100 seconds (subject to change). For more information about problems that may interfere with HDD hibernation, you can refer to this：

in tos6, will I protect the hdd from the system partition? This is great news.
