STILL NOT SLEEPING! - and I GIVE UP!

Do you have any mapped drives on your desktop?

No. No mapped drives on my PC’s at the moment.

Then you should try checking the smbpasswd file while the My Cloud is mapped to the desktop.

The “Change” value updated to when a Share was mapped. No change after that in the last six minutes.

Give it a few more minutes. Thanks

I think rac8006 was wrong, and Bennor is right.

try command sleep --h

“sleep 1200” means sleep after 1200 sec(20 min) not for 2 hour.

in /etc/standby.conf, 5 min to check idle,

after 5 min idle, there will be command to sleep after 20min

so 20 sec wakeup is gone.

my logs don’t tell a lie

Your log does not tell a lie. The problem is that the time that the disk entered sleep is taken before the sleep 1200. After the sleep the disk is put to sleep. Monitorio loops back to check for the disk to wake up.
When it sees that the disk woke up it subtracts the current time from the enter standbytime which was taken
1200 seconds before the disk was put to sleep.

Apparently my system updates the file every 30 seconds or so. not sure why my system does this and yours does not.

I’m currently using the sync, sleep addition to monitorio.sh discussed in this post:
https://community.wd.com/t/wd-my-cloud-randomly-wakes-up-the-drive-when-drive-sleep-is-enabled/152748/22

   ior_datavol=$ior_datavol2
    iow_datavol=$iow_datavol2
    iow_root=$iow_root2
    
    smartTestStatus=`getSmartTestStatus.sh | awk '{print $1}'`
    if [ "$standby_enable" == "enabled" ] && [ "$sleepcount" -eq "$standby_time" ] && [ "$smartTestStatus" != "inprogress" ]; then
        touch /tmp/standby

	#Added code try to fix 10 second wake up (12/14/17)
	sync
	sleep 5

        enterStandbyTime=`date +%s`
        echo "Enter standby"
        if [ "$1" == "debug" ]; then
                echo "`date`: Enter standby "
                dmesg -c > /dev/null
        fi

	#Added code try to fix 10 second wake up (12/14/17)
	sync
	sleep 5
	sync
	sleep 5
	sync
	sleep 5

        for i in ${drivelist[@]}; do
                hdparm -y $i >/dev/null
        done

        # turn on solid blue if applicable
        ledCtrl.sh LED_EV_DISK_STBY LED_STAT_IN_PROG
        sleep 5
        break
    fi
done

I think all it has done is turn the 7 seconds to 20 seconds.

Right now I have my first gen at stock v04.05.00-320 firmware no additional modules/apps added. Only the monitorio.sh and s98user-start files modified. I have remote access disabled via Dashboard. Only one user, the admin (renamed) user. Drive sleep enabled. Reserved IP address in router with DHCP time out in router set to 7 days as a test. Both DLNA and iTunes server are disabled in Dashboard.

Hopefully that will give you reasonable sleep times. But it will not fix the 7 sec wakeup.

What does the checkgen1.sh script show? I suspect the msg.sock. You could try the stat on the msg.sock file. See if it is changing.

PS also try stopping samba for a while.

Rac8006, you are right, I was wrong

in /var/log/user.log there is time for sleeing,
it is time from command to sleep and to wake up, not for real sleeping time,

in my log

|2017-12-14|15:27|1207|sec|

at 15:27:07 it wakes up after 15:07:00 for 1207 sec.

but 15:07:00 is time to command to sleep after 1200sec

and start sleep-time is 15:27:00(15:07:00 + 1200sec)

and end sleep-time is 15:27:07 ,

so sleeping time is 7 sec (1207 - 1200)

my log time …

1207 sec,
1701 sec,
2926 sec,

is not real sleeping time,

real sleeping time is

7 sec (1207 - 1200)
501 sec (1701 - 1200)
1726 sec ( 2926 - 1200)

so… Bennor’s works don’t work…

Will try stopping Samba tomorrow when I have some time to do more testing.

The msg.sock file hasn’t changed in a few minutes (current time 10:28pm).

If this is a gen1 why is the data disk being accessed so often. Secondly why is it not showing files accessed?

Don’t know why it is being accessed so often. Just realized I ran the older checkgen1 script, running the newer version now which is displaying more information. Quick snippet. I did turn Twonky/media serving back on but haven’t accessed anything through the media server yet.

Yes it shows some Twonky access, that may be because I had just turned Twonky (media serving) back on through the Dashboard at the time. Will do some more experimenting later to see what gets accessed with Twonky on and with it off, same with Samba on and off.

Might be worthwhile to put some tmpfs backed mounts at various “troublesome” locations, initially seeded from the HDD, and with suitable backup copy operations in the shutdown script.

I do that trick on my linux-ized chromebook to reduce wear on the eMMC and microSD cards I am forced to use for permanent storage. (Browser cache, log files, and pals all quickly overwhelm these low-tier flash storage solutions’ write lives, so I use tmpfs backed storage in /etc/fstab at such locations to avoid the issue.) The end goal is the same here— Avoid disk activity on a drive we would prefer to not be accessed except when it is really necessary— but for different reasons.

Might be something worth exploring for files that the system daemons INSIST on constantly checking. (Let them check the ■■■■ files-- they access tmpfs backed storage instead of waking the drive.)

More experimentation. Went overkill and tried all the changes described here:
http://levo.pro/2017/05/13/barebone-my-cloud-gen1-fix-sleepstandby-problems-and-more/

My Cloud slept for 2 hours and 41 minutes before I woke it up to check on the sleep time. No more constant short sleep cycles.

Of course the down side is no DLNA and I have to use IP address to access My Cloud. :laughing:
