nasmand and stormand causing disk activity
Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2015 8:29 am
Hello,
I've been noticing that after midnight each night, nasmand and stormand will cause a lot of disk IO and it won't stop unless I reboot. I compiled iotop for the nas and it shows that nasmand is running 100% IO right now. If I reboot, it stops until the next night.
I've checked several times to see if S.M.A.R.T. checking was still enabled, as I had it enabled in the past, but thats not it. Not being sure what nasmand or stormand does, and there not seeming to be any log entries anywhere in /var/log for those, I can't tell what is happening.
In a previous post here, I was asking about my nas renaming itself back to its default name. I have figured out that killing nasmand causes that.
There seriously needs to be more detailed logging of what is going on with these non-opensource programs on the nas.
Has anyone else noticed this problem?
