@rvassar
Even i read abovementioned article, still not sure if its a good idea to have it enabled or disabled.

That is increasing quickly, I saw it mentioned in here about EXOS drives having an idle timer parking the head causing timeouts when TrueNAS goes to fetch data.@cobrakiller58 seems it got increased,

Why?
@rvassar is it a good idea to enable TLER for all drive inside the raid/pool?
thanks

Well... Some of your drives have it enabled by default. But for the ones that don't you should enable it. Our resident Grinch has a resource on it:

By that idle timer parking the head ... so its OK that i am getting timeouts on that drive?
@cobrakiller58 will check the article thanks.
by not accepting timeouts ... it means to disable ERC for all drives? or am i mixing apples with oranges?
You may want to check the manual to see if the amount of power saved is relevant to you or not.@cobrakiller58 https://www.truenas.com/community/t...een-epc-idle_a-and-idle_b-power-states.90751/
maybe it can be good just to keep idle_b set to 25min?
to completely disable - drive will increase power consumption... still not clear from abovementioned thread.
I'm curious why it has seemingly stopped being an issue though.....that issue is not happening anymore.
