I have a pool of 5 drives just attached via a usb enclosure all in a pool. Up until recently the drives would sleep after ~15min per the enclosure's firmware setting. However something recently (also around the time I upgraded to the beta of drivepool though Im definitely not saying it's related, could be something else entirely) seems to be doing some activity about every 5s keeping the drives permanently awake.
Ive tried investigating via resource monitor and all it shows is explorer monitoring a handful of directories on there as well as searchindexer (even though I have disabled searching on the pool but either way its all been indexed already). So I wasnt sure if anyone may have other ideas to try to track down what is keeping my drives awake. I did also recently update to the latest WSL preview, but just in case I tried turning off wsl automounting and that made no difference. Any help is appreciated
