Upgraded PRO 6 to 6.5.1, had fan problems, went back to 6.5.0 and all is well again
Hi, After having succesfully used 6.5.0 on my PRO 6 since the day it came out, I upgraded to 6.5.1 today. The system fan started to act weird. When putting the fans on COOL, it took a little whi...

Well, that would be your call. Some have already downgraded and some dont'. Much better send in your logs and address it to mdgm to check what's wrong with the fan on your ReadyNAS system.
Kind regards,

As for me there is no difference between 6.5.0 and 6.5.1

Would be better to get logs on firmware where you are running into the problem. Logs on a firmware where you are not having issues are of little value.

I'm having issues in both builds. If I run the CPU fan off the CPU fan header it will run at maximum speed. If I put it on the spare system fan header it will either run slow and not spin up when the CPU gets hot or fluctuate wildly. If I edit /etc/sensors.d/system.conf as I have shown on the previous page with fan3 labled as 'CPU' it will run it at maximum speed again.
At the moment it seems to have settled down somewhat but I cannot be sure it will stay that way,
