Hi,
I’ve got a brand new My Cloud 4TB, own it for a couple of days now. I’ve put only one image file, and one 350 MB video file on it.
I’m having trouble with the device going to sleep: it keeps waking up after a short period.
I’ve disabled NTP, DNLA, cloud access, etc, etc.
Here are the logs from the night when i’m asleep and the day when i’m at work. All computers / media players / etc in my network are turned off during this period, but the my cloud keeps waking up! Since there are only 2 files on the device it can’t be indexing can it?!

After i saw this i had no idea what could be causing this. The only device that was running during all this was of course my router so i went into my router settings.
I’m no expert on this, but i saw that in my router that the DHCP Address Lease Time was set to 120 minutes. No idea if this could cause the waking up, but i set it to the maximum of 2880 minutes, rebooted the my cloud and i tried agian this evening. With mixed succes:

So it’s been asleep 15357 seconds, which is a lot better, but again it also wakes up after 7, 13 and 12 seconds!
I was not home, no other devices were turned on, only 2 files on the hard drive. What is causing this?
I want the devce to sleep during the night, and during the day when i’m at work.
