Others may know better. If that works, you could write a little script to run in the background which keeps reading temperature values from the hard drives and writes the average (or maybe better max ?) into that file, where fancontrol would pick it up from there. Something along the line of while true do m=0 for a in `hddtemp -n /dev/sd[a-z]` do if [ $a -gt $m ]; then m=$a fi done echo $m > /tmp/mymaxtemp sleep 10 done and FCTEMPS=hwmon0/device/pwm2=/tmp/mymaxtemp hwmon0/device/pwm1=hwmon0/device/temp2_input Guenter > Thanks in advance, > > With kind regards, > > Jelle de Jong > # cat /etc/fancontrol > # Configuration file generated by pwmconfig, changes will be lost > INTERVAL=10 > DEVPATH=hwmon0=devices/platform/it87.552 > DEVNAME=hwmon0=it8720 > FCTEMPS=hwmon0/device/pwm2=hwmon0/device/temp3_input hwmon0/device/pwm1=hwmon0/device/temp2_input > FCFANS=hwmon0/device/pwm2=hwmon0/device/fan2_input hwmon0/device/pwm1=hwmon0/device/fan1_input > MINTEMP=hwmon0/device/pwm2=41 hwmon0/device/pwm1=35 > MAXTEMP=hwmon0/device/pwm2=45 hwmon0/device/pwm1=55 > MINSTART=hwmon0/device/pwm2=58 hwmon0/device/pwm1=70 > MINSTOP=hwmon0/device/pwm2=58 hwmon0/device/pwm1=66 > > # sensors > it8720-isa-0228 > Adapter: ISA adapter > in0: +0.99 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) > in1: +1.50 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) > in2: +3.30 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) > in3: +2.88 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) > in4: +3.12 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) > in5: +1.82 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) > in6: +4.08 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) > in7: +2.13 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) > Vbat: +3.25 V > fan1: 986 RPM (min = 0 RPM) > fan2: 1626 RPM (min = 0 RPM) > fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) > fan5: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) > temp1: +45.0 C (low = +127.0 C, high = +127.0 C) sensor = thermistor > temp2: +36.0 C (low = +127.0 C, high = +127.0 C) sensor = thermal diode > temp3: +43.0 C (low = +127.0 C, high = +127.0 C) sensor = thermistor > cpu0_vid: +0.513 V > > # hddtemp /dev/sd[abcdefghijklmnop] > /dev/sda: WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1: 46 C > /dev/sdb: SAMSUNG HD501LJ: 42 C > /dev/sdc: WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1: 44 C > /dev/sdd: SAMSUNG HD103UJ: drive is sleeping > /dev/sde: SAMSUNG HD103UJ: drive is sleeping > /dev/sdf: ST3500630AS: 50 C > /dev/sdg: Hitachi HDT725032VLA360: 45 C > /dev/sdh: WDC WD5000AAKS-00V1A0: 40 C > /dev/sdi: WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1: 48 C > /dev/sdj: SAMSUNG HD501LJ: 44 C > /dev/sdk: WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1: 47 C > /dev/sdl: SAMSUNG HD103UJ: drive is sleeping > /dev/sdm: SAMSUNG HD103UJ: drive is sleeping > /dev/sdn: ST3500418AS: 40 C > /dev/sdo: Maxtor 6V320F0: 46 C > /dev/sdp: WDC WD5000AAKS-65YGA0: 42 C > _______________________________________________ > lm-sensors mailing list > lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
