Power Saving on QNAP TS-509 NAS
I simply love sabnzbd and have it working just fine. The only problem I have experienced so far is that now my NAS will not power down the hard drives when idle. I'm guessing that there is some setting within sabnzbd which is accessing the hard drives periodically. Does anyone know what setting that is and if I can turn it off so I can save some power?

Do you have a watched folder set under config>folders? That is the only function I know that periodically accesses the hard drive while sabnzbd is idle.

Additionally, when using the Newzbin 'auto fetch bookmarks' feature, there will be read/write action to the bookmarks.sab file in the cache directory. And using RSS will read/write to rss_data.sab and watched_data.sab, same directory. Either of these actions can also write to the log file.
For this reason I'm running SABnzbd on a usb-stick with my CH3SNAS. No HD access as long as there's no downloads going on, so disks can be powered down.
