External harddrive is constantly spinning - Raspberry Pi Forums


good evening all,

recently, switched harddrive on ntfs ext4 filesystem, variety of reasons (biggest being performance). before did this, had drive mounted using ntfs-3g , worked flawlessly, pi didn't handle stress , cpu bottleneck exposed.

so, ntfs drive spun , spun down fine , wasn't continuously spinning, however, - drive spinning regardless of activity (when using ext4 fs)

guys assist me in working out issue, , resolving it? if there additional details assist, please let me know.

i use 2 drives in setup , mirror main drive second drive backup. use hdparm put backup drive in stand state.
