Im trying to build a power friendly ZFS server and am having some problems 
getting my system to power down disks. I have edited the power.conf as shown 
below. 

I dont think the problem is with the settings, but with some service or process 
that keeps pinging the zraid2 pool disks every ten seconds and preventing it 
from sleeping.

I saw some similar posts suggesting fvm service might be the culprit and I 
tried disabling it:

svcadm disable fvm

But the pings still happened, but now every 10 seconds it seems instead of 5??

I tried running powertop but nothing looked suspicious.

Im hoping somebody has some suggestions how to move forward and debug this to 
find out what program is accessing the disk array.

Any pointers appreciated.
