Anyone with an actual Ultra 6 running OS6 without LCD? (no Pro's) The driver should support the following controllers: * Supports: IT8705F Super I/O chip w/LPC interface * IT8712F Super I/O chip w/LPC interface * IT8716F Super I/O chip w/LPC interface * IT8718F Super I/O chip w/LPC interface * IT8720F Super I/O chip w/LPC interface * IT8721F Super I/O chip w/LPC interface * IT8726F Super I/O chip w/LPC interface * IT8758E Super I/O chip w/LPC interface * Sis950 A clone of the IT8705F * IT8758F Super I/O chip w/LPC interface (8721) Anyone care to check dmesg output and see if it is detected? Maybe it is a simple configuration issue. lm-senors is in the repository, just do an apt-get install lm-sensors

I own an Ultra 6 bajorgensen.
Haven't got OS 6 running on it yet, planning to migrate somewhere during this week. I'll check the dmesg output and will let you know.

Sven, me too. And as stated the fans run appropriatly for me. It is the Pro model I was referring to.

Ahem,
Here is how you gain Genie access.
Note:
I may get ban from here so make sure you circulate around web for all others to copy as quick as possible
Readynas Model 104 has 12 numbers for serial so wont do for us but Readynas 312 has 13 :D
Here is a generic one: (dont use this)
3C61310M00106

Now go copy yours and place it under this and follow this layout to get your official genie access:
So your Number becomes:
3C6NNN-0M-NNNNN

Example
Lets say your serial is
2EE888RL00099
It transforms to
3C68880M00099
Magic! :D
Enjoy your new nas

Thats nothing to get banned over.

All NTGR products have 13 digit serials. If its 12, its likely a beta unit, or had an error in factory to not have a valid serial number; so it falls back to MAC address as the serial number displayed (12 digits).

Genie uses a pre-defined serial list, you can't just make one up to work. They get a batch of systems created at the factory and build a serial list from that for Genie use. Same for routers like WNDR3500v2 that have Genie also.

Then, even if you had a valid serial number, it is pulled from the motherboard DMI info and fed to them via a binary/cgi (run 'strings' against fwbroker.cgi/libreadynas.so). There isn't a text file you can modify to have it pass a new fake serial number.

So non-issue at the moment.

And Genie at the moment is still alpha in my eyes. Look at the website for it (hard to navigate pages, slow, no search, designed in 1990s?, etc), look at the available apps, look at the pissed off developer community for it, look at the lack of billing options for International users. I don't see getting Genie working as a goal of the OS6 unsupported upgrades. I could see developers making their own 'app stores' and selling/donationware their .deb files for the Local Apps install option coming in next version.

Thanks for clearing this up to us chirpa, because next edit was the hostname to reassemble newer units.
Saved me a lot of time, thanks again.

I am toying with the idea of moving one of my Pro 6's to OS6. Can anyone clarify :-

Is there an easy way to ensure there are no fan or LCD display issues?
Has anyone used ISCSI support?
Has anyone used Jumbo frames
Is there any reason why the system should be faster / slower with the new disk format?
Do the same limitations exist that you cannot expand a system in place from below 16TB to above 16TB without a complete format? (wondering whether to buy new disks before the OS6 install)
There has been a long standing issue with the Pro 6 where the Nics fail under high load. Has anyone seen this issue when OS6 is installed?
Any other issues, regardless how small?

Thanks!

Looks like the poor product launch is coming back on them.

Shares of Netgear (NTGR) were down 8% early Tuesday, after the networking equipment maker late Monday preannounced Q1 results that dipped below analyst views due to weaker-than-expected shipments for a new line of data storage hardware. At the center of the shortfall is Netgear's ReadyNAS line of data storage products. In a statement, Patrick Lo, Netgear's chief executive, said the company had "experienced difficulty in the transitioning of our ReadyNAS line, which caused shipments to be lower than demand from our channel partners."

Hi.
I'm a linux noob with a hankering to learn, so I was wondering if someone could answer a couple of questions about demetris' post quoted above.
Sorry if I'm sidetracking this thread.

1. For me (Pro 2) dpkg -s lm-sensors show that it's not installed. So why purge lm-sensors?
2. Why use dpkg to install locally downloaded packages? wouldn't apt-get install lm-sensors or even apt-get install -t wheezy lm-sensors get the same packages

Not surprising at all, i imagine the client being sold Pro6s, 4200s 2 months ago and getting told that their product is a dead end...
