TL/DR: If you want to put the drives of your storage pool into a standby (spindown) state: Enable the standby for each drive in Truenas Scale’s “Drives” options. Move the system log off the pool that you want to sleep. Move the ix-applications dataset off the pool. Both of the above will be put a…

It should be noted this issue is affecting 25.10.x series, not 25.04. My main box is still on 25.04.x and will remain there for the foreseeable future. Good to know there’s an option for bringing back this functionality to 25.10.x.

For info, I posted a message in the bug report. But I think it is still not followed. To create an account for Jira, you have to create a bug report from Truenas itself, there you will find the way to create it.

They are a bit to specific aren’t they ? shouldn’t we do one more generic instead ? There is a basic bug, and only this one needs to be fixed.

I think it is beneficial that my feature request is fairly specific because it outlines a specific, clear problem and provides an easy solution that would be easy to implement OOTB.

Im sorry but i do not understand why this is such an issue. Let us spin down our disk for the love of God. I also cannot accept the “enterprise users don’t need this feature” argument. This is like saying “Sorry, you cannot turn off your TV, since commercial users need their TVs on all the time fo…
