This may be a bit out of scope but I'm hoping to find someone here who's done this before.
I recently installed Gentoo Linux on my ReadyNAS Ultra 6 as a way to improve my Linux skills and expand the options this system has. Everything appears to be working, besides coretemp not getting any readings from the CPU. That I can probably fix.
However, I'm at a complete loss as to how I can write output to the LCD display. At very least I would clear it, showing the word 'ReadyNAS' 24/7 can't be good. From studying the kernel-config, I'd say its a serial device. But that's about as far as I got. I'm great with Linux & storage, I can bake a lean kernel, but this is new territory.
Does anyone have experience with these functions? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
You didn't have to drop me in my own ignorance quite so efficiently. :oops:
Thank you so much, I needed to use "quotes" around the command, but it works quite well. I'll see if I can emulate some ReadyNAS functions like the HDD-icons and the RAID-scrub output. You wouldn't happen to know of any documentation on this, do you? I found the Nexenta page as far as possible commands go, but I haven't figured out how to print multiple lines yet.
('lcdproc' looks nice as well, if I can figure out which of the gazillion drivers to use)
EDIT: Oddly enough, the coretemp started working all by itself. Which means I now have full hardware functionality, yay!
