qbittorent on QNAP NAS - HDD Sleep

[TheOne]

Hey all

I've got a qnap ts-262 NAS device.

Normally after 30mins of any inactivity the HDD goes to sleep.

After installing qbittorent (access via web-ui) from https://www.myqnap.org/ (libtorrent 2.0 version) I've noticed that there is activity (seeing the LED flash lights blink) around 10 mins of not touching and it seems to interact with the hdd every 10 mins or so ... hence the HDD never going into sleep mode after 30 mins as I'm guessing the idle timer keeps resetting.

Is this normal behaviour?

Is there a way to not get qbittorrent to interact with the HDD if there is no activity? (no seeding - stopped state/no torrents added)

P.S. I've got SMB and WebDAV turned on and they all behaviour normally i.e. HDD goes to sleep after 30 min of no activity

I doubt you can achieve this. Seeders / peers come and go. :/
