Synology NAS HDD activity

antona 2 months ago updated by Tom 2 months ago 1

Hello everyone,

I have installed ubooquity on a Synology NAS running as a Docker/Portainer application. I recently have discovered annoying HDD activity every 5-10 seconds or so all night long on the NAS and found out that this seems to come from Ubooquity.

With Iotop I have found the only HDD write acitivty seems to from:

java -Xm8192m -jar /app/ubooquity.jar --headless --host 0.0.0.0 --remoteadmin --workdir /config [VM Periodic Tas]

Any idea how to fix this ?

Thank you in advance

Ubooquity access the disk when

  • An external request is made by a client. E.g when you download or read a book, when you access an admin page, when a user session is started...
  • It scans your folders to import new books (scan that you can schedule with a period beween 15 minutes and 3 weeks, or disable completely).

So either something's wrong outside of Ubooquity, or it receives external requests that trigger disk access like the ones described above.
