Both of the systems run from SSD, with Docker installed on SSD and the media on HDD.
All logging and config are directed to directories mounted from the SSD.
Realtime scanning is off.
None of this helps, and Jellyfin persists in keeping the disks from hibernating.
This issue has been mentioned a number of times, but not in the configuration where logging and configuration are directed to SSD. There should be nothing to keep the HDDs spinning.
Apparently this used to work in previous versions.
Any suggestions?
When I last owned Synology, 8 years ago, this was an issue in general on those units. its a NAS issue.
I switched to Asustor, populated the new unit with 2 X 4Tb 2.5" drives - yes the type used in laptops. These are near silent, use much less electricity & generate very little heat.
I disable hibernation & keep the disks spinning.
On paper these drives have a bit lower performance but in my real world use I've had no complaints. After 5 years of continuous use they are still working just fine but it's probably time for me to look at replacing them as preventative measure. I have the NAS doing twice daily backups to a USB attached external drive.
