ReadyNas Duo v1 Fan Problems
Hi All, Powered up my ReadyNas Duo V2 (think actually a V1) after it had been shut down for a couple of months whilst we moved house. When I booted it up, it told me the fan had failed and sh...

...well, I popped an old disk in and factory reset it - all seemed well. Fan icon was back, it had slowed itself to around ~1600rpm. So I conclude that the hardware is fine.
So, I put the regular disks back, and surprisingly, the fan icons and status was back and showing green. BUT, it's racing up at ~5500 and refusing to slow down. I tried the add-on and that hasn't forced it down either.
Not thrilled by the prospect of defaulting it on these disks and restoring the data from the back up - I don't fully trust it.
Any ideas how I can fix it directly at the Linux level perhaps?
Thanks
