Disks not spinning down, but settings.json is blank


Question

Posted

Hi, im a long time avid user of drivepool. Recently added a bunch more disks to mypool and only now noticed that the disks dont seem to spin down ever. Checking with drivepowerstate shows all the disks will constantly stay spinning even when windows is saying to spindown after 10 mins

This is including another hard drive that isn't even part of the pool. Stopping the drivepool service however results in all my disks spinning down immediately, so i've definitely found the culprit.

Running version 2.2.2.934 with windows 10 1809

 

I think i'm a victim of the bitlocker bug as described here https://community.covecube.com/index.php?/topic/4252-drives-not-spinning-down/

 

The problem is when I open the settings.json file, it just comes up completely blank in notepad. Any thoughts on how I can access this, or have these settings been moved elsewhere?

 

Thanks in advance

Just to add to this, I've completely uninstalled drivepool, cleared out the programdata folder, reinstalled the program, and made the json changes. Hey presto drives are now spinning down!

I recently had the Settings.json file get corrupted after a system crash.

Deleting it and restarting the DrivePool service will make a new one.

Thank you! This did the trick :)
