3 Topicsready nas ultra 6 Drive expansion with 6tb drives
Hi, Can someone tell me if I can install 4 x 6tb drives to my Readynas ultra 6 (Clean install) Would I get the full 18tb(3 x 6tb) with 6tb(1 x 6tb drive) acting as raidx redundancy shoudl i stick to 4tb drives? also at moment i have 3 x tb drives with 3 spare bays As an alternative to above Is it possible to add a second raid volume using 3 x 6tb to get 12tb with 1 drive being redundant and can i co-exist with the original volume In other words I have 4 x 6tb drives- how best to use them with my 6 bay - 3 drives poulatred with 2tb HDs in place Thanks AlanSolvedOS 6.6.1 on Ultra 6 - Temperature readings incorrect
This looks to be a bug in 6.6.1 using my Ultra 6 (legacy) NAS. And I can't make sense of what is wrong: We have a ducted air conditioned house at around 25 degrees ambient My "CPU temperature" seems to have a "floor" of at or around 35 degrees and doesn't deviate too much from it, no matter the load... My "System temperature" fluctuates more erratically and is a higher temperature I decided to run a stress test (using "stress" via SSH). I ran a 5 minute test, with results below: The graph says the light blue CPU temp fluctuates from 47 to 57 degrees - which does not align to the text temp under the graph. Same is true for dark-blue system, which temperate increase lags the light-blue CPU, but the text under the graph says it's the lower temperature. So I guess I am trying to say: The thermometer temp guages at the top should be switched around so the system temp is ~35 degrees and is relatively stable (given the Hard disks are between 33-37 degrees, and air conditioning at 25 degrees) and the CPU temperature should be at 47 degrees and fluctuate more widely with load... The text under the graph should also be swapped. Funny thing is, sensors via SSH shows: coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter CPU: +35.0°C (crit = +100.0°C) it8721-isa-0a10 Adapter: ISA adapter V5_0: +4.96 V (min = +4.76 V, max = +5.14 V) V3_3: +3.28 V (min = +3.13 V, max = +3.46 V) V1_8: +1.81 V (min = +1.50 V, max = +2.10 V) V-12: -12.10 V (min = -13.24 V, max = -10.73 V) 3VSB: +3.24 V (min = +3.14 V, max = +3.46 V) Vbat: +3.34 V System: 1205 RPM (min = 399 RPM) System: +52.0°C (low = +1.0°C, high = +80.0°C) sensor = thermal diode So OS6 web dashboard is showing what SENSORS is showing - but SENSORS has to be wrong... doesn't it?Power Timer not turning on OS6 FW 6.4.1 - Legacy Ultra 6
I recently acquired an Ultra 6 Plus, which I upgraded to OS 6, FW 6.4.1, for use in backups. The Power Timer function (which I liked better in the old NV+ models, since I could specify minutes) turns the U6+ off, but does not turn it on. I'm currently using a cron entry on my DD-WRT router to do a WOL job to turn the U6+ on at the specified time (3:50am). Needless to say, it's a fix smacking of Rube Goldberg, though not as good as the one in this simple alarm clock (No, this is NOT my proposed fix, perfume is expensive, and so are cannonballs). Hardware: ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus Firmware: 6.4.1 Time: correct Power Timer: currently 2am to 11am (so I can verify it turned on for to do backups, will shorten to 6 or 7am when assured of regular backups) Backup jobs: currently 4am to 6am (rsync pulls) WOL: enabled DD-WRT router cron WOL job: 3:50AM Ay suggestions on how I can fix this? I'm willing to SSH in if need be, but not completely comfortable in linux. -kevinb1 (formerly imsai on infrant/netgear, how do I change my handle back?) P.S. I'm also getting fan underspeed warnings, but one thing at a time....Solved
