Hi,
Nothing to do with 6.9.0 because as stated it's been like this for months.

Do you know if your CPU fan is of the three-pin variety connected to the I/O board or 4-pin variety connected to the motherboard? Another user reported a similar problem and he got it fixed by making changes in the system.conf file, though he had just changed from 4.3.x to 6.x. Did it happen at some OS update? Somewhere along the line in 6.x, Netgear may have left out the configuration for the 3-pin fan in the 6-bay Pro models. I frankly have no idea how it could tell which it is, so maybe that process just fails sometimes during an update.

Hi,
It's the four pin to the motherboard.

OK, so SSH into the NAS and look at /etc/sensor.d and see if i you have both a system.conf and a pro6-fan.conf.
pro6-fan.conf should look like this:
chip "w83627dhg-*" ignore fan3And system.conf like this:
chip "w83627dhg-isa-*" label in1 "DDB18" set in1_min 1.62 set in1_max 1.98 label in2 "AVCC" set in2_min 3.3 * 0.90 set in2_max 3.3 * 1.10 label in3 VCC3 set in3_min 3.3 * 0.90 set in3_max 3.3 * 1.10 label in4 VCC1_25 set in4_min 1.17 set in4_max 1.32 label in5 "VCC1_5" set in5_min 1.41 set in5_max 1.58 label in6 "VCC1_05" set in6_min 0.98 set in6_max 1.10 set in7_min 3.3 * 0.90 set in7_max 3.3 * 1.10 set in8_min 3.0 * 0.90 set in8_max 3.3 * 1.10 label fan1 "System" set fan1_min 600 label fan2 "CPU" set fan2_min 150 label fan3 "System" set fan3_min 600 ignore fan4 ignore fan5 label temp1 "System" set temp1_max 80 ignore temp2 ignore temp3 ignore cpu0_vid ignore intrusion0system.conf is actually just a link to etc/frontview/sensors/NV6.conf.
I'd say your fan or the fan controller was broken, but that would normally make it start out full on, not ramp up.

Hi,
Ok went to /etc/sensors.d all is the same.
