I reported the fix for the short sleep times to WD second level support today. They say that
they will escalate the problem to engineering.

Hello there, hopefully they will be able to provide a response soon enough, please keep this thread updated.
My problem is solved. I just hope WD will put the fix out to the world.

Do please share the fix.
The fix is a patch to samba. If you can compile samba then you could use the fix. Most people don’t have
the necessary tools to rebuild samba. I wasn’t told to give the patch to anyone else. If someone that can
rebuild samba and asks for the patch I’ll give to them.

rac8006,
I’ve stopped samba as well as the cron overnight and it is not a complete fix yet.

Although it seems to be bit better, I’ve seen better sleep patterns of up to 8 hours of sleep even with Samba turned on; but anything helps.
WD support contacted me today and requested the patch. I have
forwarded the patch to them.

Has WD implemented the patch yet?
I can’t tell for sure. I think the version of samba is still the same as it was
when I was testing. But if you do the mount command the fix is not necessary.
With the mount command you no longer write to disk when accessing the file.
mount -o remount,noatime,nodiratime /dev/root /
