[Samba] Avoiding constant HDD access

I'm running a Samba server on Raspbian and observing that Samba during idle
periods is constantly (every minute) writing to HDD (maybe doing some
journaling?) what causes the HDD to constantly spin and never standby:
root at rpi:~# pidstat -dl 20
Linux 4.4.50-v7+ (localhost) 11/07/2018 _armv7l_ (4 CPU)
04:10:08 AM UID PID kB_rd/s kB_wr/s kB_ccwr/s iodelay Command
04:10:28 AM 0 832 0.00 0.20 0.20 0 /usr/sbin/smbd -D
04:11:08 AM UID PID kB_rd/s kB_wr/s kB_ccwr/s iodelay Command
04:11:28 AM 0 832 0.00 0.20 0.20 0 /usr/sbin/smbd -D
04:12:08 AM UID PID kB_rd/s kB_wr/s kB_ccwr/s iodelay Command
04:12:28 AM 0 832 0.00 0.20 0.20 0 /usr/sbin/smbd -D
Is there some way (via configuration setting or maybe recompiling with some
parameter) to turn off this constant disk io?
