RN204 Eminent fan failure?
Hi all, I'm getting this notice in /var/log/messages on my ReadyNAS RN204: "Setting EDA fan 15 failed - deferring" I tried switching fan modes and saw this after switching to Quiet mode: "S...
That sounds like an error in the OS. While a NAS that can use an EDA2000 or EDA4000 can set the fan speed in them, there is no similar capability on an EDA500. I retired my EDA500 and other eSATA expansions some time ago, and that error must have come into play sometime after I did so.
So I think I realized what this message is. It started popping up after I connected the Mediasonic Probox 4-bay disk enclosure. What I noticed in "Volumes" is that the Netgear seems to think this is a Netgear EDA500 enclosure (when it's not). My guess is that this alert is coming up because the ReadyNAS daemon is attempting to set the fan speed of the Mediasonic but can't since the Mediasonic's control mechanism is different, thus the error message.
I wonder if there's a conf for the ReadyNAS daemon that can be changed to disable the external device fan control
