Hello,
I switched from OMV to TrueNAS some time ago and noticed quite quickly that my HDD makes noises every few seconds.
So I spent some time searching for the cause and came across to the "variable" "zfs_txt_timeout".
By default there is a time of 5 seconds in there, which also matches the time of the accesses to the HDD. If I now change this time, the cycle of the accesses and thus the noise of the HDD also changes.
Since the NAS is located in my living room, I would like to avoid these noises and preferably turn them off completely when the NAS is in idle. Since I do not know exactly what this variable is for, I would like to know from you whether it can be changed without problems, or whether these accesses can be turned off completely. I am open for all possible suggestions.
