My collection of hints, tips and tricks (supporting my memory and maybe also helping others) - some links are in German, some in English

HDD spin down issues

• Why the hard drive of NAS does not go to standby mode?

• Probleme mit Festplatten-Standby

• Qnap QTS 4.3.3.0154 write to disk at least every ~30 minutes ( setcfg -> dirtied inode ... qid_persistent.conf) on md9 )

 Seems to be known issue - see https://forum.qnapclub.de/thread/40517-3-sammelthema-probleme-mit-festplatten-standby-1-beitrag-beachten/?pageNo=12

Move Samba tdb_path to ramdisk

(Permanently) move samba's tdb_path to ram disk -> avoid hdd spin up due to .tdb file update

 [/] # /sbin/setcfg "Samba" "tdb_path" "/"                              
 [/] # /etc/init.d/smb.sh restart                                
 Restarting SMB services:
