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...
I just installed 6.6.0 on my Ultra 6. The fan speed is fluctuating continuously, even while booting and the fans run on max speed. This didn't happen on version 6.5.0 while the I had the same issue on 6.5.1 and 6.5.2. temps are quite normal (cpu 35C system 40C). Everything else is working fine.
Strange thing is, now I’m writing this and the device is running for approximately 40 minutes, the fan speed suddenly is running smooth. After this I rebooted the device, while rebooting and the fans are running on max speed it started fluctuating again. After it fully booted, the fan speed is still fluctuating on lower speed.
Is there anything I can do about this?
Edit: now the fans run normal 11 mins after booting
You could try setting e.g.
# echo 1000 > /etc/frontview/min_fan_speed_override
then
# systemctl restart readynasd
Thanks to those who went to 6.6.0 and reported back on the fan behaviour. I continue to have a great experience with 6.5.0, unlike 6.5.1 and 6.5.2 and I hope that Netgear looks back at this version and "copies and pastes" the correctly functioning code into the future 6.6.1.
If not, 6.5.0 might be the final destination for my PRO 6..., which works great and is far better than the old OS 4. I just hope I won't accidently hit the wrong button on the automated upgrade pop-up one day.
Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig) just after seeing the problem on 6.6.0?
Supertramp11 sticking on 6.5.0 indefinitely is not something we'd recommend.
This trick didn't work. After '# systemctl restart readynasd' the fan immediately started to fluctuate like it does at booting. On the admin page i noticed fan speeds between 251 rpm and 13xx rpm. After a random time (at multiple reboots between 10 - 45 minutes) the fan starts to run normally. When i change the fan mode on the performance, the fan speed starts to fluctuate again for a while too. Also, the systemfan is the only fan visible and that one is fluctuating i gues. The CPU fan is not being showed on the monitorpage, don't know if this is normal? Could it be that i need to update the bios?
I just send my logs too.
Thanks.
Well my fan issue was fixed by clearing cables and whatnot behind the unit so more air could be moved.
Now I'm running into another issue...
Seems like the NIC drivers for 6.6.0 aren't fully compatible with a pro 6 unit.
I run both ports (one is configured for my local lan and one has a public IP address so I can provide remote backups without any hassle.)
The unit will randomly drop one or the other nic. One is still usually operational, but the only thing I can do to get it back to a working state is to reboot the unit.
