Hello bakthomas,
That seems to be the official, then.
I haven't read OS6 NAS units users report this same problem. Like Supertramp11 suggested, revert to 6.5.0. If you are using an OS6 unit, I would suggest you to contact support.
Regards,

Today I upgraded my Ultra 6 (6x2TB) to OS 6.5.1.
I'm also having the reported fan error, however all fans seem to be working fine.
The overview only shows one fan: System.
CPU temp is 30 C / 86 F.
The system temp is 51 C / 124 F.
The fan shown in the overview seems to represent the largest fan.
When I look at the physical device the largest fan seems to increase the speed, immedeately slow down, increase again etc.
The speed of the fan shown in the overview is fluctuating between 0 and 1100-1200 rpm.
After downgrading to 6.5.0 there is stil one fan shown in the overview (shouldn't there be two fans shown?).
It has a stable speed 806 rpm.
The temperatures are the same as under 6.5.1.
The largest fan also seems to have a constant speed.
What I do not understand is why there is an rsync running to synchronise the data.
Shouldn't the data area be empty after upgrading to OS 6?
The data area isn't empty; it holds 35.56 MB of data.
The estimated time for the rsync is app. 17:00 (still 14:50 to go.
Is this normal behaviour?

Resync not rsync. The system is rebuilding the RAID array. On the data volume usage there will be a small amount of metadata. This is all normal behavior.
