I had a similar problem, but was able to solve it with the following in
the config.pl
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [
'0',
'12'
];
to only wake up at midnight and noon. It sounds like you've already
done something similar? How did you set yours to wake up only at 2am?
Maybe use "sar -d" to see if anything is reading/writing to that disk?
You can use fuser -cv /foo to see what exact processes have files/dirs
open in that filesystem as well.
