OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

There goes 20GB of pictures ... but it is worth it, OS6 runs on my Ultra 2 :D

Fan is still a bit noisy, because RPM tripled from 4.2.x

Hi
I installed 6.0.4 firmware on my ultra4. All work good exept fan. I use manual command to decrease fan speed.
I succeed to install crashplan on my ultra 4 with 6.0.4 firmware.
Now i ll try Royan script to automatically manage fan speed.

I've also installed it on my brand new Ultra 4 that I got at a clearance price... At first, I had some problems adding a second drive to create a mirror (2x 2TB WD Red). It was trying to use it as a second volume with no name. I couldn't delete it because of that. I've resolved this by doing a factory reset and copying my stuff back. Now, everything is working fine. I'd really like to have the temp and the fan speed in the GUI but I can live with that for now.

In the meantime, I've adapted Royan's script to run on the Ultra 4 (single CPU, some optimizations, etc.). All credits go to him.

As usual, here is the disclaimer :

So, here it is :

Anyone got any ideas regarding lm-sensors and Ultra 6?

i get the correct rpm for the fans, but i get N/A for the temp of the cpu (atom d510)

anyone knows how to fix the temp reading ?

(Ran 4.2.22 on it, but it was unstable because of bad termal paste, since i dont have any handy, i opted to install 6.0.4 on it with the fans at full speed and that is working flawlessly)

I always replace thermal paste with MX4 and note the day/month/year after 8 years i will be back if the machine still functions :D

Heh, exactly the same stuff from arctic cooling that ive used :-p (just dont let any fish near it) ;-)

- but anyway, it didnt fix the "suddenly the box doesnt respond" problem it keeps freezing, it did so on 4.2.22 as well, so its not a termal problem, maybe its a memory problem... ill have to run a mem test on the unit and see if that helps... or if anyone else has some ideas, im all ears :-)

Hi to all,

Here is how to fix fan and temperature issues with OS 6.0 on legacy systems :
Fan and temperature controls are operational, but reports to GUI are false as well

NO WARRANTY / NO SUPPORT !!!

..with root access, execute the following commands:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
apt-get install lm-sensors fancontrol
yes "" | sensors-detect
sensors .......(to see your sensors values)

..give values to fan control
echo "#fancontrol" > /etc/fancontrol
pwmconfig
....... give answers to following tests / questions and give values to fan control
....... set interval to 5 seconds
....... save config file

..and now start fancontrol daemon (it will start automaticaly after reboot)
/etc/init.d/fancontrol stop
/etc/init.d/fancontrol start
...... enjoy your new silence !!!!

..use >> sensors << command to validate your values and fan RPM

..if you want to change pwmconfig values, you have to stop fancontrol daemon
pwmconfig ............or update values directly in file /etc/fancontrol
....... and so on
/etc/init.d/fancontrol stop
/etc/init.d/fancontrol start

Tested on Ultra6 model.

For example, values for Ultra6 model are ( /etc/fancontrol file ):

# Configuration file generated by pwmconfig, changes will be lost
INTERVAL=5
DEVPATH=hwmon0=devices/platform/coretemp.0 hwmon1=devices/platform/it87.2576
DEVNAME=hwmon0=coretemp hwmon1=it8721
FCTEMPS= hwmon1/device/pwm3=hwmon0/device/temp2_input
FCFANS= hwmon1/device/pwm3=hwmon1/device/fan3_input
MINTEMP= hwmon1/device/pwm3=51
MAXTEMP= hwmon1/device/pwm3=58
MINSTART= hwmon1/device/pwm3=40
MINSTOP= hwmon1/device/pwm3=40
MINPWM= hwmon1/device/pwm3=40
MAXPWM= hwmon1/device/pwm3=255

Does this control both the CPU and System fan?
Does the LCD screen turn off once raid initialization is complete?

Also has anyone figured out how to do dual redundancy with X-RAID2?

Thanks,

All fans controled by pwmconfig are monitored by fancontrol.
For me, on Ultra6 model, LCD works fine, it turns off/on and displays infos as on 4.2.xx version
if it's wrong for you, you can try >> apt-get install lcdproc

I've just tested with two disks in XRAID2, I have no experience about dual redondancy on OS 6.0

I tried OS 6.0 last month but I couldn't find the dual redundancy option, I only could find RAID6.
