Yes, the display part works only on native OS6 units. The huge amount of RAM required is one reason I think OMV is better suited to most ReadyNAS and the only choice for some. But I posted this for those who think otherwise. Netgear uses lmsensors for fan control, and it should work fine in other Linux variations.
