The service can be loaded and unloaded with no problems Seriously thinking about changing max temp to 65 though (anyone have any thoughts on dropping the max temp that low?) - my NAS is tucked away in a room where the noise is of no bother to anyone - it now seems to be idling at the following rate: Fan - 1241RPM CPU - 53 Disk 1 - 37 Disk 2 - 39 Disk 3 - 40 Disk 4 - 37 (these are 2Tb WD Red drives) Saketb - if you want I can email you over the 2 files that are working for me? That might help you thanks all Townsmcp Its great to hear that its working for you and that the temps have come down considerably. Mine, seems to not work and temps have risen to 70+ on the CPU. The service does not work. Request you to email me the files so that I can copy them to the respective folders and start the service. (sent you a PM with my email) One thing, I would like to ask... the files I created was with notepad++ and then deleted the ^M and saved them again in Vi. When listed with ls -l it shows... -rwxr-xr-x+ 1 guest guest 1799 May 31 19:20 fanoveride (root folder) -rwxr-xr-x+ 1 guest guest 1317 May 31 20:02 fanoveride (/etc/init.d folder) Are these correct? Is the guest guest correct? Is this why it is not running? Request you to help me here, as I'm really worried about the temps and the device. Thanks.
