Easy fix fan/temp OS6 issues on x86 legacy #no support
>> EDIT - 2014-04-12 << Before to hack your system, update first to 6.1.7. Built-in fancontrol support is there! 6.1.7 has been released: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=76000 ...

Somehow I can't get the fans in my Ultra 6 to work. I tried a created /etc/fancontrol and tried to create it but the temperature sensors are missing.

# pwmconfig revision 6166 (2013-05-01)
This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm
circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.
We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls.
The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed
after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you
physically verify that the fans have been to full speed
after the program has completed.
Found the following devices:
hwmon0/device is coretemp
hwmon1/device is it8721
Found the following PWM controls:
hwmon1/device/pwm1 current value: 0
hwmon1/device/pwm2 current value: 0
hwmon1/device/pwm3 current value: 2
Giving the fans some time to reach full speed...
Found the following fan sensors:
hwmon1/device/fan1_input current speed: 0 ... skipping!
hwmon1/device/fan2_input current speed: 0 ... skipping!
hwmon1/device/fan3_input current speed: 2242 RPM
Warning!!! This program will stop your fans, one at a time,
for approximately 5 seconds each!!!
This may cause your processor temperature to rise!!!
If you do not want to do this hit control-C now!!!
Hit return to continue:
Testing pwm control hwmon1/device/pwm1 ...
hwmon1/device/fan3_input ... speed was 2242 now 2235
no correlation
No correlations were detected.
There is either no fan connected to the output of hwmon1/device/pwm1,
or the connected fan has no rpm-signal connected to one of
the tested fan sensors. (Note: not all motherboards have
the pwm outputs connected to the fan connectors,
check out the hardware database on http://www.almico.com/forumindex.php)
Did you see/hear a fan stopping during the above test (n)?

It appears that fan hwmon1/device/fan3_input

Would you like to generate a detailed correlation (y)?

Fan Stopped at PWM = 2
Testing is complete.
Please verify that all fans have returned to their normal speed.
The fancontrol script can automatically respond to temperature changes
of your system by changing fanspeeds.
Do you want to set up its configuration file now (y)?
What should be the path to your fancontrol config file (/etc/fancontrol)?
Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ...
Select fan output to configure, or other action:
1) hwmon1/device/pwm3 3) Just quit 5) Show configuration
2) Change INTERVAL 4) Save and quit
select (1-n): 1
Devices:
hwmon0/device is coretemp
hwmon1/device is it8721
Current temperature readings are as follows:
cat: hwmon0/device/temp2_input: Resource temporarily unavailable

2) hwmon0/device/temp3_input
3) hwmon1/device/temp1_input
4) hwmon1/device/temp2_input
5) hwmon1/device/temp3_input
6) None (Do not affect this PWM output)
