I have tested the same drive on the same machine using Artix Linux
and the drive stays spinned down.

I have used top -s 0.1 in order to see if I can get a glimpse at
something which might run, but nothing is started. And as mentioned
in the previous mail, nothing is happening in messages or daemon.log.

I am beginning to suspect that it's the ZFS kernel process thingy
something which is doing this?

I do not want this drive to keep spinning up every 5 minutes.

What has changed from 14.3 to 15 that might cause this annoying
behavior?
