What can I do about the discs being so active

[wazzad]

Hi

Sometimes the 2 discs of my TS219P+ will be very active for hours, as if doing a big copy or a remirroring.

But when I look they aren't doing that, but the discs are clearly spinning very intensely and making a lot of constant noise.

A look at the resource monitor reveals
qDmcd
afpd
top
btd
upnpd
qplod
manaRequest.cgi
qsync

and a few other processes are running with a few %age CPU usage.

Is there a way I can stop this noise, find out what it is doing, or at least reschedule it to a different time?

Thanks

These two are interesting. I've not seen them before.

Can you SSH into your NAS as the admin user? If so, please find the PID of the first process:

Code: Select all

ps ax | grep qDmcd | grep -v grep

... then take the PID (the number shown in the first output field), and check the command-line argument list for it with:

Code: Select all

cat /proc/PID/cmdline

Please post the result back here.

Then do the same for the 'qplod' process.

first one seems to be some upnp thing

that should be off on NAS and router anyways (dangerous)

Ah, thank you.

I should have searched for it.

Agree.

Hi,

Thanks for the help.

I've done the PS and CAT.

I have switched off my machine since having the problem and so now it is back on, the qplod isn't there but qCmd is though the cmdline file is 0 bytes.

if you did the PS and CAT .. would you mind posting the results ? .. the commands are supposed to display info .. not fix the issue
