Drives not spinning down


Luc

Question

Just wondering, its been a long time, and at least a couple of versions, but should the default setting for BitLocker_PoolPartUnlockDetect not be disabled by default?  I honestly don't know how many people use bitlocker. Is there no way to check if bitlocker is being used at all, and if not disable this? 

Drives are constantly clicking and never spin down with this enabled.

Every time I've had to reinstall drive pool I've had to go google this setting, find out what it was called, kill the service, update the service configuration json and then restart.  

 

Maybe add a UI to be able to toggle these settings?

 

Thanks (:

 

L.

Just to add to this post. This solution works for me, however, it is important that you change the default value of the Override value for BitLocker_PoolPartUnlockDetect entry in both the CloudDrive AND and DrivePool json files. Change Override from null to false. These two json files should be located here:

  1. C:\ProgramData\StableBit CloudDrive\Service\Settings.json
  2. C:\ProgramData\StableBit DrivePool\Service\Settings.json

Stop the two CloudDrive AND and DrivePool services and then edit the json files. Restart services.

Change this entry. It is normally at the top of the JSON file.

 "BitLocker_PoolPartUnlockDetect": {
   "Default": true,
   "Override": null
 },

to

 "BitLocker_PoolPartUnlockDetect": {
   "Default": true,
   "Override": false
 },
