Fanoverride stopped working after upgrade to 6.4.0

When I upgraded to 6.4.0, the fanoverride stopped working.  Anyone else experiencing this?  Would 6.4.X down the road be able to work with the fanoverride scripts again?  Of course, if the OS itself can give an option to have a check-box to let users choose to have a normal fan speed mode or an increased fan speed mode would be best.

Re: Fanoverride stopped working after upgrade to 6.4.0

Overriding the fan speed using the fanoverride script is an unsupported hack.

 

You could try this:

# echo "FAN_MODE=cool" >> /etc/default/services
# systemctl restart readynasd

You can do quiet, balanced or cool

 

EDIT: OOPS. Forgot the second > (thought about it then forgot to put it in). Thanks michaelarnauts.

DON'T DO THAT COMMAND. IT WILL ERASE YOUR CONFIG!!

 

You should do this. Note the two >>'s. This will add FAN_MODE=cool to the end of the file instead of replacing it.

 

# echo "FAN_MODE=cool" >> /etc/default/services
# systemctl restart readynasd
