[SOLVED] - Do unused drives still spin down when other apps are installed?

Couldn't find anything in the forum so thought I'd ask the group-at-large:

 

Does unRAID still spin down unused drives if other applications (MythTV / YAMJ / XBMC for example) are also installed (and running) on the server?

 

I know the standard answer would be "as long as those apps aren't reading/writing from said drives," - but I wanted clarification or confirmation on whether this was actually the case (I assume there are folks here who are running said or similar applications on their unRAID servers).

yes, "as long as those apps aren't reading/writing from said drives"

Thanks!

i have SAB/Couchpotato and sickbeard running from the cache drive

all other drives spin down as expected after 30 minutes (i changed the setting to 30 minutes)

only cache drive keeps on humming

 

 

Its likely Couchpotato keeping your cache drive spun up.

lol it is more SAB

i have always a nice queue in SAB
