I had some spindown errors when using unRAID within unRAID, so I set all my data drives to always spin. Later, I discovered that my Western Digital WD20EARS 2 TB drives all use the Advanced Format which requires pins 7 and 8 to be jumped. I ended up moving 8.6 TB of data off the unRAID server to other drives on Windows computers. I then installed the pins 7 and 8 jumpers and precleared the drives. I am now moving the data back on the unRAID server.
I configured the SageTV library with:
\\unraidserverIP\disk1
\\unraidserverIP\disk2
\\unraidserverIP\disk3
\\unraidserverIP\disk4
\\unraidserverIP\disk5
I may try the forward slash to see if that works in the SageTV configuration. When moving files to the unRAID server, you need to keep in mind that upper case are not treated differently in Windows, but are treated differently in unRAID, since it is running in Linux.
I think you could setup your unRAID server to spin up the drives indirectly with a time schedule. First put a unique small text file on each data drive. Next, write a script to access each unique text file from your SageTV computer. The script could 'type' the each text file. Then schedule the script to run every day at time you want the unRAID server drive spin ups to occur. The spin down will be controlled by the setting in the unRAID server. If you need the spin up to run more than 9 hours per day, which is the maximum setting with a spin down, then schedule the script to run twice a day.
My spin down errors might have been part of my Western Digital WD20EARS Advanced Format problems, which are now fixed, so I may try spin down again.
