Hi all,
first post in this forum, trueNAS CORE beginner, mostly noob.
Just used to a bit of hackintoshing with handling open core related issues, and also (but just) a bit of ssh-ing via terminal with the very, very basics. That said, I´m just in a trueNAS (13.0-U6.1) playground with available unused hardware evaluating if such a device would fit in my future needs as homer server, replacing my DAS orientated workflow as I will have to leave my (tower-) hacks behind once I have to migrate to silicon.
So for me a homeserver setup with spinning down disks and system shutdown (sleep is not an option as I´ve learned so far…) seems to be the way to go.
Initially I had the impression (by what I read during my investigation) that HDD spindown was not reliably available by the trueNAS OS, so I came across this thread and the spindown_timer. But as I was not able to get this running I eventually just tried the GUI provided settings for HDD Standby - and it works!
So finally (please excuse my long introduction):
Can the spindown_timer.sh be used only for the automatic shutdown based on inactivity, so that the spinndown part doesn´t interfere with the GUI HDD standby?
And if yes, how can I copy that script to my boot-pool?
My current test setup is a USB boot SSD (including system dataset) and 3x SATA 2TB HDD (only these enter standby) in one pool.
I manage to navigate around the server via ssh, but never and nowhere found the path to the boot-pool to create a scripts folder on it. Where is it located?
Sorry again for too much text for two simple questions…
