Hello!

I found that HDD's in my NAS make some noise when I'm definitely not using them..
After some investigation, I found this unexpected activity:


So, there's a media service that uses postgres and a service directory is created on Volume1, which is accessed every few seconds.
The disks do not go to sleep.


I'm trying to figure out how to move this directory to another Volume2, or where the configuration is located, in which a specific startup path is specified.

If anyone has encountered such a problem, I would appreciate any advice!

I think you should check the service configuration for mediadb.service. You can usually find the configuration file in /etc/systemd/system/ or /lib/systemd/system/. Use the following command to view the contents:

Look for lines that specify the ExecStart command or any paths related to the database directory.

Hi,

I discovered same issues, my hdd (Volume2) never went in sleep from long time, because there are continue changes on:

/Volume2/@zlog
/Volume2/@system/media/pgsql
.bash_history file -> just in case I will logged in

I found that the media configuration is located here:

cat /etc/default/mediadb
database=/Volume2/@system/media/pgsql

So it's pretty easy to change manually but after a reboot the system is reverted to old Volume2, so how did you proceed safely and permanently?

Hi,
well, will try to set the config file to readonly permission
