I am seeing the following every ten minutes:

```

```

This continuous request to the disk stops the disks from going on standby and saving power.

How can I disable this? or am I going to have to comment the line out on the code 😉

Ok, looks like the issue is due to the Cron job and trying to Update Mirrors. Going to disable that or extend the clock.

SOLVED:

Added:

```
[cron.update_mirrors]
ENABLED = false

```

to the app.ini according to [https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/68ec7b8be9d945ffb83431ba1113997cfc9e648c/modules/setting/cron.go#L54](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/68ec7b8be9d945ffb83431ba1113997cfc9e648c/modules/setting/cron.go#L54)
