How to control fanspeed on a RN104
On special request, here is a workaround for controling the fanspeed of the RN104 ( most likely the same on a 102). For this you will have to SSH in to the NAS. Thanks to Moseleypj for doing the ...

I Wrote my own simpler way
#!/bin/bash
string=$(sensors *-isa-* | grep T-junction | rev | cut -c 67- | rev | cut -c 16-)
timestamp() {
date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S"
}
( echo "temp was ${string} at $(timestamp)" ; ) >> ~/tempmon.txt
if [ $((${string})) -gt 65 ]; then
echo "210" > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1
else
if [ $((${string})) -lt 50 ]; then
echo "150" > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1
else
echo "170" > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1
fi
fi
Then I just edited a system cron job to include running this every 30 minutes,
/etc/cron.d/frontview-volumeschedule
and added
2,32 * * * * root script/location/name.sh 5 &> /dev/null
It also writes to a log file so you can see how it's performing.
the last few entries read
tail tempmon.txt temp was 56 at 2015-09-28_08-32-01 temp was 56 at 2015-09-28_09-02-01 temp was 55 at 2015-09-28_09-32-01 temp was 56 at 2015-09-28_10-02-02 temp was 55 at 2015-09-28_10-32-01 temp was 56 at 2015-09-28_11-02-01 temp was 56 at 2015-09-28_11-32-01 temp was 57 at 2015-09-28_12-02-02 temp was 57 at 2015-09-28_12-32-02 temp was 56 at 2015-09-28_13-02-02
So the sripts doing its Job and it doesn't need to run as a service as cron takes care of it.

Hello!
Thanks for your information...
My question here is... why this is not implemented on the OS??
There is some room for improvement of the ReadyNAS OS...
I hope netgear get his stuff right...
I did like the ReadyNAS 104, but the OS is behing his competition... Im now using a QNAP, and while QTS is no DSM from Synology, its still ahead of ReadyNAS OS.
For me the best OS experience i had on NAS is from DSM, it really looks and feels great... But the plastic feel of the Synology Casing, the premium that we have to pay for a less powerfull product is a detracting issue.
As a costumer, i see here space for NETGEAR to attack... The units are solid and heavy duty build, that i like very much, the LCD screen is a plus too, but the OS really needs a complete overhault... New Interface, better apps (Cloud SYNC is really needed), the antivirus APP is a joke...
This is my 2 cent... Better your software and i will return to NETGEAR...
Best Regards,
LPC

I'm also trying to work out what has gone wrong here. Since the update to 6.4.0 the Fan speed mod is no longer working. Have tried re doing it but still no luck
- fluffybunnyukOct 10, 2015Aspirantfor 6.4.0 users you can :- apt-get install lm-sensors pwmconfig pwmconfig will enable you to configure your fan settings... see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_speed_control Mines running with hdd's at 27deg C and CPU at 40deg C just fine with fan @ 1200RPM (It spins up to 1600-2400 when i start trying to thrash it) I use MIN TEMP 25 MAXTEMP 75 MIN START 105 MIN STOP 90 MIN PWM 75 MAX PWM 255 it was nice to get rid of the fanoveride script...
