Tips and tricks for Debian on the QNAP TS-209

Here are some tips and tricks about running Debian on the QNAP TS-209.

Controlling the fan

Debian currently doesn't have automatic support for the fan. While there is a tool that can control the fan, it won't automatically set its speeds according to the temperature. If you want to manually control the fan, do this:

qcontrol -d &
qcontrol fanspeed # To see all valid speed settings
qcontrol fanspeed medium
kill %1
rm /var/run/qcontrol.sock
