Would this type heatsink/fan be suitable for a Readynas Pro 6 (newest version) running OS 6 ?

Thanks,

I made the change but there was no difference to frontview / Performance page ?

So, as you mentioned 'lm-sensors', i tried to update/install it but got errors....

I ran "apt update"; (some did upgrade, others did not ?)

Then I tried to install 'lm-sensors' (didnt work?)

SO, i then tried to install 'perl' (didnt work?)

So I'm no further along in getting 'perl' or 'lm-sensors' either installed or updated... since I know nothing about linux.. i dont want to poke around in the OS in case i break it...

Having done what i have done already above, im afraid to exit putty + WinSCP or even, reboot the NAS lol

What should I be doing here to get lm-sensors and perl (and its dependencies) working ?

and...

is this the command to restart the 'readynasd' process ?

# start-stop-daemon -q -o -K -n readynasd -R 5
# start-stop-daemon -q -S --exec /usr/sbin/readynasd

cheers

aw crap!

whatever i did there has removed my installed Apps and also removed all Available apps ...

anything simple I can do to restore these ? (im currently on OS 10.6.9) and have it saved as a .deb file. Is there a Putty command i can reinstall it with ?

thanks 

ah...fixed it , must have made a mistake in sources

thanks

maybe getting somewhere...

but how to I validate the temps shown correlate and are accurate to each core...?

weirdly, at the start before editing NV6.conf, it was like this

chip "coretemp-isa-0000"
label temp2 "CPU"
compute temp2 @%35, @%35

but in order to get 4 cores showing , i had to rename it to Core0, is that what im supposed to do ?

Then , by adding in compute temp3,4,5, added extra temps... but i dont know how to validate what i see as fact...?

e.g.

must have had some corruption in OS as I have been able to now reinstall perl, and then lm-sensors

i think there is a limitation in lm-sensors for detecting the 4 cores in that one is detected as the CPU, the rest as, Cores...

LM-sensors is completely capable of detecting 4 (and even 😎 cores with a proper .conf file.  But in order for the fan speed to be properly controlled by the ReadyNASOS, you need to have one of them labeled "CPU" in the .conf file so as to be matched with the fan labeled "CPU" in the lower section.  AFAIK, you can have one with two separate labels.

As for how to verify the displayed values, I have no idea.  I think you have to trust the folks who wrote lm-sensors know what they're doing.

You say you did an apt-get update, but the results you posted are for an apt-get upgrade, which was a really bad idea.  Some of the Netgear-specific executables rely on a specific version of a package, and Netgear has even modified some packages (such as lm-sensors).  Replacing some of them with more recent standard Debian versions, as an apt-get upgrade will do, can create problems.

A customized version of lm-sensors was already installed, and you have overwritten it.  You are now 100% on your own as to how to figure out how to insure the fan speed will be properly controlled WRT temperatures.  I have no idea if what i said in the first paragraph is still true with the updated lm-sensors you installed.  The picture you posted shows some pretty high CPU and System temperatures and very low fan speeds, so it seems that the control is not working properly.

Hi

my NAS is fully operational despite the upgrades... it was touch and go for a few mins, but it rectified itself....

i think there was 100+ updates done lol, but everything still works.

I mentioned in a post that for testing I was running in "quiet" mode, and transcoding, for the purpose of raising the temps, this was to see if they were all different.

other than putting this in, I cant get the last core to show up...? and i tried all the variants you mentioned...strange

weirdly, at the start before editing NV6.conf, it was like this

chip "coretemp-isa-0000"
label temp2 "CPU"
compute temp2 @%35, @%35

but in order to get 4 cores showing , i had to rename it to Core0, is that what im supposed to do ?

Then , by adding in compute temp3,4,5, added extra temps... but i dont know how to validate what i see as fact...?

e.g.

also, just noticed one of my disks is about to implode... I wasnt getting this error before i did the "upgrades/Updates"... so ive either fixed disk checking, or broken it lol

You seem to have skipped temp1.  Note that "temp1" in the upper (CPU) section and lower (motherboard) section are independent of each other.  AFAIK, you must have something labeled "CPU" for it to include CPU temperature in the fan control.   Without it, it will only use the system temp.  But I believe you can label something twice (e.g., call temp2 both "Core2" and "CPU").

I doubt anything you've done has caused the ATA errors.  It was just  a matter of time before it happened.  Note, however, that that's one SMART parameter that can be false in that the chassis SATA system can be at fault instead of the drive.

cheers

okay so if this is my current NV6 file, what do i need to add/remove ?

Note: temp1 is in use further down the file contents. this is where im not getting it lol ?

As I previously said, I have never had a 4-core Pro6 nor do I have a currently operating Pro6 of any flavor, so you have to experiment.  But you still haven't designated temp1 in the upper section, which I would guess is the other core.

cheers

so after designating 'temp1' as 'Core1'in the upper section and then restarting frontend ;

chip "coretemp-isa-0000"
label temp2 "CPU"
compute temp2 @%35, @%35

label temp1 "Core1"
compute temp1 @%35, @%35

label temp3 "Core2"
compute temp3 @%35, @%35

label temp4 "Core3"
compute temp4 @%35, @%35

label temp5 "Core4"
compute temp5 @%35, @%35

I see no change or addition of that label ? What would your suggestion be of, what to try changing next ?  

thanks

ps. even when i run 'sensors' in Putty, i get this response; (still no Core1...? so maybe my hypothesis that CPU is actually Core 1 is correct ?)

Note that I cannot see your screen grabs until they are approved. Since you now say nothing changed adding temp1 and I can see the previous screen grab, yes, temp2 is fairly obviously core1.  You can just leave it that way or, I believe, you can label it twice, as both CPU and Core1.
