Constant hard drive writes? (8 to 15MB/s) #28

Has anyone else noticed a constant 8 to 15MB/s write interval when Liquidctl is installed?

I went back and fourth between removing and installing the Liquidctl plugin and when it's removed drive activity goes to near zero. Install it and activity jumps back to ~11MB/s.

With today's NVMe drives 11MB/s is not much at all, but after a week of just idling that would add up to 6.65 Terabytes of writes! Is this constant write activity normal?

Disregard! I got it working!!

I highly recommend adding a note to the main page for users of AIO's to first try enabling "Controller - Various Third Parties" to see if communication with their AIO can be established. Being a new user I was unaware of "controller" referencing AIO's.
