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
>> EDIT <<
Here is how to fix fan and temperature issues on legacy x86 systems running OS 6.x, until built-in support is there.
I'd previously created this post http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=70133&start=255#p393886 but it will be easier for community to have fancontrol file examples for all models in a dedicated post.
It's a very easy and reliable method to monitor fan and temperature with lm-sensors and fancontrol standard packages.
No change on GUI reports.
NO WARRANTY / NO SUPPORT !!!
with root access, execute the following commands:
edit /etc/fancontrol file and copy the following file example corresponding to your model http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=71155#p395324
or create your own /etc/fancontrol file using pwmconfig command http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=71155&p=395324#p395318
fancontrol daemon start automaticaly when you install it.
restart fancontrol daemon for changes in file /etc/fancontrol take effect
to interact with fancontrol daemon, use
You can display sensors values with sensors command

- I've installed OS6 on a pro2. As I don't have fan speed and CPU temp, I've made a small script to generate my own RRD.
First, we have to generate the cpu RRD and Temp RRD. I've created on /dashboard/frontview/stats/rrdtool create fan.rrd --step 60 \
DS:rpm:GAUGE:120:0:5000 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0,5:1:2880 \

RRA:MIN:0,5:1:2880 \
RRA:MIN:0,5:30:384 \
RRA:MIN:0,5:120:384 \
and now CPU RRD:rrdtool create temp_sys.rrd --step 60 \

Now it's time to create a script (update_rdd). This script gets temperature from CPU Core 0, CPU Core 1, System temperature and fan speed and updates de RRDs

The last step it's call those scripts from crontab:*/1 * * * * root /root/scripts/update_rrd

WOW revin! Your post above looks pretty cool. Any chance we could get a glimpse of your "Performance Tab" after you performed this hack? I'd be interested to see if I could do something similar on a Pro 6. . .- ATCIS,
My images are really crapy :D. Here are an example:
But you really can make them as you want, simply playing a bit with rddtool graph (http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph.en.html)
Here you have a few examples about what can you do with rrdtool : http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/gallery/ - Is this fix still needed for the Ultra series?
I just upgraded and my fans/temp seems be ok. At least they are recognized in the dashboard.
Fan running a bit slow atm though (820 rpm)
CPU is 59/138 and System 44/111
System is idle except for re-sync - Hi all,
I've just upgraded my Ultra 6 to 6.1.4. & having fan issues. i've followed all the instruction in the threads, but it doesn't work at all for me.
i've installed the lm-sensors & fancontrol, but giving me this error
Setting up fancontrol (1:3.3.4-1) ...
ln -s '/lib/systemd/system/fancontrol.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/fancontrol.service'

Any idea guys? i'm very desperate & my Ultra 6 fan now running on max 2300rpm. :(
Please help me. Thanks in advance - I'll post my fancontrol config tonight (if I remember, I'm terrible at those things). It should work for you, but if the device is idle, frontview will report the CPU at -1°C / 30°F.

I own an Ultra 4. Fan is still working here without any modification- Are you running a custom fancontrol/lm-sensors config? Would you care to post it here?
Curious about the difference between an Ultra 4 & an Ultra 6 concerning fans.
Thanks! - Nothing custom. I just upgraded to 6.1.4 and it was working out of the box.
If you still want any config please let me know where they are located.
