ReadyNAS appears to boot by itself
Yesterday I took my ReadyNAS Pro Business offline for a careful dust-cleaning. Since booting up fifteen hours ago, it has run a boot cycle every few hours. Here's the Log screen: Tue Sep 2 06:09:1...
if the 38 degrees figure I have on my mind is correct, that is not "high temperature". I kind of agree with try and keep the drives cool - even though Google demonstrated that the contrary will in fact extend the drives' life. What I don't agree with is the algorithm implemented.
Say the threshold is 38 degrees, the fan begins spinning up at 38.1 degrees, It then speeds up more and more till the temperature drops below 38.0 degrees again. That means that the fan will reach max speed after a few minutes if the drives are still at 38.1 degrees!
And BTW, this is only the chassis fan, the CPU fan reacts in a more logic way if memory serves.
EDIT: BTW, it must be more than 38°C, I've put a plastic bag in front of the NAS, took a long time to reach 38°C and the fan is not speeding up. Maybe it was 42°C? Sorry, it was some time ago.
