There's a service called data collector that collects various metrics like share/pool/cpu/mem usage etc.. and writes to it's database which is on the root disk. For your usecase, you may not want that information being collected all the time. On my home NAS, I always keep it on mostly because I try to stress test every feature.\r\n\r\nYou can turn off the metric collection as follows\r\n\r\n1. On the dashboard, there's a on/off switch under \"Metric Collection\". It's on the left in the side navbar. You can turn it off there.\r\n\r\n2. You can also turn it off from the System -> Services screen. The service name is \"Data Collector\".\r\n\r\nThis should help. Let me know how it goes."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/rockstor/rockstor-core/issues/comments/72258417","html_url":"https://github.com/rockstor/rockstor-core/issues/585#issuecomment-72258417","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/rockstor/rockstor-core/issues/585","id":72258417,"user":{"login":"schakrava","id":1123552,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1123552?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/schakrava","html_url":"https://github.com/schakrava","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/schakrava/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/schakrava/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/schakrava/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/schakrava/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/schakrava/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/schakrava/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/schakrava/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/schakrava/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/schakrava/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-30T19:42:42Z","updated_at":"2015-01-30T19:42:42Z","body":"Thanks for the answer. The metric collection is turned off ( off as Data collector too) however there is still constant disk access. The disk activity light on the drive blink in a repeated pattern every 3 seconds or so.
