Vandervecken Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hi all,When I have the btsync service running, can I expect the drive the folder is on to ever sleep? Would it sleep if I disconnected every device using that service?For example, I have a NAS with btsync, and I want the drives in that NAS to sleep every so often. If I turn off btsync on every system that links to the NAS, will my drive be allowed to sleep? I am seeing that the drive continues to show activity, even when there is no-one connected. Thanks,Vandervecken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 By default, in addition to real-time monitoring of your files, Sync will also routinely re-scan each folder it's monitoring every 600 seconds (10 minutes) as a fail-safe to pick up any changes that weren't detected in real-time. These routine scans can prevent drives from sleeping. To workaround this issue, simply increase the advanced "folder_rescan_interval" setting to something more suitable that will allow you drives to enter a sleep state.

Dahaniel Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Sadly increasing the folder-rescan-interval does not hep on a MyBook Live NAS and I can't find out why... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
