Put HDDs to sleep when not in use #1

Open Benny-Git opened 4 years ago

Benny-Git commented 4 years ago

Figure out whether the HDDs can sleep (hdidle or similar?) when not in use. This might need some coordination with zfs scrub or similar.

hd-idle might work: https://withblue.ink/2016/07/15/what-i-learnt-from-using-wd-red-disks-to-build-a-home-nas.html#second-get-your-wd-red-drives-to-go-in-standby-with-hd-idle

However what does this do to the pool? Does it stay intact and spin up the disks properly when they are needed?

Maybe no spindown, due to how it wears down the disks a lot faster? Do some more research first.
