Some backstory if anyone's interested: This whole layer.Cake project was born from the Organizr group. the completed version is here (ss's inside) and can be installed manually, but I'm currently working w the devs to bring it directly into calibre-web itself. This is mine! This was actually a work in progress though and its quite broken in many places. I edited the smb.conf file to include keepalive=0 and deadtime=1. If there is any further information I can give, or any further steps I can take to isolate the cause of constant HDD activity, please don't hesitate to throw them out there with the answer! What is causing this behaviour - what avenues can I look down to rectify this - and is this potentially one of the reasons it will not hibernate? If you look in the screen capture, you'll see that this appears to be regardless of the fact that no system is responding to them, and that it is every 5 minutes regularly. I wonder if this is part of the reason - and want to know why it is occurring - and how I can stop it? I used WireShark and found that it was sending out broadcasts every 5 minutes. However, when I turned SMB back on the issue resumed. This seemed to effectively solve the issue. Disabled all file services included SMB, AFP, SSH, FTP.all the other networked devices on the LAN are not in use?). None of this worked however, I noted that sometimes the NAS would hibernate - but it seemed only overnight (maybe because the network is quieter, i.e. Turned off Windows Service Discovery (there are no windows devices on the network however).Disabled QuickConnect and DDNS access, on the NAS and blocked the Ports forwarded on the router.Disabled DHCP and statically assigned it a local IPv4 address.Going through the Unofficial checklist I unplugging it) solved the issue, indicating it was something on the network. I purchased a Synology NAS DS718+, installed Plex and Docker (calibre-web-server), and have found the NAS is never sleeping.Īfter looking at Synology's own advice for Hibernation issues, I stopped Plex & Docker packages, and unplugged the network cable.

I'm another user going around this merry-go round again.
