tprwrsg Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I've just realized that on my NAS (WD My Book Live 3 TB version), after BTSync is installed and is running, my NAS unit almost (or never) enters sleep mode.Could it be that the btsync daemon running in the background prevents the system from entering sleep mode ? This could lead to shortened hardware life, and isn't a good practice in general.What are possible workaround for this ? How about giving an option for btsync to throttle/pause when there is no activity(transfer in/out) after x minutes, so that the system can sleep for a while ?

GreatMarko Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 What version of BitTorrent Sync are you running? If it's not the latest build (1.1.12), then please update to this build, which has some fixes which may well resolve your sleep issue!

tprwrsg Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks GreatMarko, I'll try and update this thread. I used the one I downloaded from this URL:http://btsync.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/btsync_powerpc.tar.gzI downloaded it just this week only (Monday 10 Jun 2013) so I'd imagine it's pretty up-to-date, but I'll check.

eseelke Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I downloaded it just this week only (Monday 10 Jun 2013) so I'd imagine it's pretty up-to-date, but I'll check.The new update GreatMarko linked to was just added yesterday. So, you likely downloaded version 1.0.134 and not 1.1.12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahaniel Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 It seems to me I have the same problems on a MBL 3TB with BTSync 1.1.42.@tprwrsg did the new version solve your problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahaniel Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Just saw in the logs that the device is leaving standby ~every 10min. I remember that there was a setting to force BTSync to reindex every 10min. If I set this option to 12h, would this be problematic for the BTSync function?

Dahaniel Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Are there any settings I could fiddle around with that could help to get the device to sleep?Right now I simply can't use btsync on the MyBookLive as it keeps the disk spinning all the time.btw, I started a thread here as well and it seems that there are more people experiencing problems: http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/forum/t-673470/bittorrent-sync-sleep-problems#post-1821064 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OderWat Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Seems like I have the same problem with my Synology DS412+. In addition to the HD in the Synology it also does not allow an external Raid I connected to the Synology to spin down. Even if that is just used for backups of the Synology once a day! Not nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Installed version 1.1.70-1 yesterday on my Synology DS413.Syncing works fine, but it's preventing this NAS from sleep mode as well.:-( How do you know its not going into sleep?

No sleaping anymore.I've did this test three times. furthermore i have only 4 standaard Synology packages installed. See > screenshot.

peterfares Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Set folder_rescan_interval longer. By default it's 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macxbo Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Where do i find that option?it's not under preferences (next to Add folder) under the tab settings or tab Authorization..and not in the preferences > general tab or Advanced tab for each folder seperately. edit: another guy asked the same question like me :-) how can I make the NAS folder rescan interval shorter (I haven't found any option in the Web GUI nor any config file on the NAS)?

peterfares Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I don't know. I only use the Windows client and it's under the global advanced settings. Linux probably some conf file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macxbo Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 ah, you don't own a NAS. Thought so :-)thanks for trying to help anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahaniel Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I changed the folder rescan interval on my MyBookLive but it did not help. However what I found in the logs during nights was that it woke up every 30min. Right now I increased the folder rescan interval from 0min to 6h on my other PC that is running 24/7. Maybe this PC contacting my MyBookLive woke it up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekpickles Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I know this is an old post but it's top of list in search. I have latest version of BTSync (1.2.91) and this is preventing my MBL from sleeping.MBL is 1TB version and a few years old also with latest patches on. I decided to use a cron job to switch off BTSync at night in the meantime as it's used in the day. I have updated the rescan to be 12hrs but that made no odds to sleep issue. I used this post to point me in right place as standard cron jobs were not being processed so had to edit the list under the /etc folderhttp://community.wd.com/t5/My-Book-Live/Cron/m-p/351295/highlight/true#M8985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 derekpickles, Try using freshly released 1.3. It should have fixed the HDD sleep issue and with 12 hours rescan interval it should wake up HDD only once per 12 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicopizza Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Could you please explain how I can set 12 hours rescan interval?I can do it on my desktop app, but I do not find the option on the ARM app... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 There is no such setting in WebUI, however, if you configure your BTSync via config file instead - you can set this setting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahaniel Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 even with 1.3 my MyBook Live NAS won't go to sleep. Didn't check the logfiles yet but it is running/blinking since I started btsync 1.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Dahaniel, Even with fixed issue of waking up HDDs, default value of folder_rescan_interval is 10 minutes. I suggest adjusting it via config file to some bigger value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
