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

- masammutAspirantGlem,
I have the old version rndp6350 - will you guide me on what file I need to add in sensors.d? I suppose the ultra version is different to mine as adding the file did nothing. I even renamed it to rndp6000.conf.
Also do I need to refer to this file from anywhere else?
I have latest 6.1.4.
Sorry to be such a noob, but where do I find the name of my chip? The folder with teh fan and temps is w83627ehf.2576 on mine.
I also noticed that the temperature graph is blank.
Cheers - moseleypjAspirant

As it turns out it was likely a permissions problem ALL ALONG :oops:
Still something not quite right though. I just checked the ambient room temperature which is approximately 82 degrees F. How can the CPU temperature be 79 degrees F? As I watch the graph over time both temperatures are dropping slightly every minute. The System temperature seems reasonable. It is currently 97 degrees F. I'll keep an eye on things for a while and report back later. . .
I've been trying to get the graphs I've generated embedded in the performance tab but can't see which file it's rendered from. How did you manage to do it? :shock: - ATCISTutor

My frontview temp readings are not OK.
My fans work fine but are not showing up correct in frontview.

And there is no file rndu6000.conf in etc/sensors.d/, only rn2120.conf with the following text:chip "g760a-i2c-*-3e"
label fan1 "fan1"
chip "g760a-i2c-*-48"
label fan1 "fan2"
chip "g760a-i2c-*-49"
label fan1 "fan3"
So i've added the line to that file:chip "it8721-isa-0a10"
compute fan1 0+fan3_input,0-fan3_input
compute temp2 0+temp1_input,0-temp1_input
Stil the same story.. I even added the file rndu6000.conf to the folder with the text above without any luck.
My fan control file is from the PRO6, al the other settings fail and cause my CPU fan to max out on RPM.# Configuration file generated by pwmconfig, changes will be lost

I'm trying to get the graphs on a RN102 and RN104 with OS 6.1.5 - ATCISTutor
moseleypj wrote: I'm trying to get the graphs on a RN102 and RN104 with OS 6.1.5
Hmmm. . . I must be missing something here. I thought that both the RN102 and RN104 models shipped with OS6 out of the box. Shouldn't ALL the graphs and other graphical elements be working correctly without the need to perform any of the hacks that those of us who are running OS6 on legacy hardware? I'm confused. . . :-? - StephenBGuru - Experienced UserThe RN102/RN104 are OS6 only.
You can see the picture in the "performance" tab. However, the graphs are not available on the RN1xx. Per the manual:
I'm not sure why this limitation is there, but I wish it weren't.Note: Status graphics are not supported for ReadyNAS 102 and 104 systems. - moseleypjAspirantSo are all the graphs available on the higher models, or is it a hack to get them showing in all models?
- StephenBGuru - Experienced UserI know of no hack, and I think all the people who have shown the graphs are running the x86 OS6 binary (RN3xx/RN611/ultra/pro).
- moseleypjAspirantHmm, I wonder where the code that renders the front page is stored... If anyone has any info. I'd be very appreciative, else I'll have to look into it after my last exam!
