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:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
apt-get install lm-sensors fancontrol
echo "#fancontrol" > /etc/fancontrol


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
/etc/init.d/fancontrol restart


to interact with fancontrol daemon, use
/etc/init.d/fancontrol stop
/etc/init.d/fancontrol start
/etc/init.d/fancontrol restart


You can display sensors values with sensors command
