4200v1 Update to 6.7.4
I updated my 4200v1 from 6.6.1 to 6.7.4 with no problem except the Performance page shows fan 1-5, looks ok.
The temp thermometers show 4 cores and temp 1, 2, and 3.
Also the graph below for the system and cpu temp shows nothing no matter what I choose.
The temp in the graph shows Celsius 0.0 to 1.0 at the top.
The upgrade went with no problems so far.
I also upgraded two Pro6 from 3.5.2 to 6.6.1 to 6.7.4.
How do I fix the 4200v1?
Do I wait for the next update?
Thanks

Can you do what? The solution I pointed to for the fan and CPU temperature issue is done via SSH after the unit is updated.
The updates have been coming so fast and furious that I've been hesitant to update to 6.7.4 on legacy equipment (which is all but one of my NASes). I'm sure Netgear has not had time or resources to fully test each one on every legacy platform and there has been no beta testing. I've only updated my Pro2 "sandbox" system. I've seen no issues there, but there's a big difference between a 2-bay and 12-bay system.

Seems like this upgrade is impacting everyone in different ways. Mine isn't related, mine is a performance issue which render the NAS very slow even for reading and writing and my logs are clean. Lets hope they have a new update soon as it's impacting my functionality at home.
I wish they would do better testing before releasing an update. Seems the updates have been problematic for a lot of users.

I doubt any formal testing is done of the legacy ReadyNASes at all, other than what mdgm might do, since they're not even supported platforms for 6.x. Upgrading them to the latest 6.x is always going to be a crapshoot.
- dtrinibTutor6.7.2 worked perfectly. You can only go downgrade by preforming a factory reset and using a USB key with the firmware version you want. (I've had to do this twice since owning this NAS for four years) But doing this you'll loose all of your data on your hard drive.
I used to just load the image I wanted. Isn't that possible?

The updates have been coming fast and furoius to squash bugs, so I'm not surprised that something may have been left out for a legacy system and not found due to lack of beta testing. Same thing happened with my RN4200V2 on 6.6.1. I've not moved to 6.7.4 on it yet.
See ReadyNAS-4200V2-OS6-6-1-fan-control for a solution.
Sandshark's solution fixed the fan and temp and sensor problem.
I pressed the Accept solution on the wrong message.
Ok after I did this:
# cp /etc/frontview/sensors/RN4200.conf /etc/sensors.d/ # systemctl restart readynasd
My performance looks like this:
Nothing changes, everything stays the same.
The temps are close to my other NAS01, 4200v1 with os 4.2.30. NAS01 has fan speeds around 2900, cpu, 5200 system.
