I wanted to let you know that it seems to be working really well. It's an absolutely amazing relief to have this after all this time! All the apps I've tried that depend on it seem to work fine. For the time being I've left out emc6w201.conf from sensors.d in case you do some more fine tuning of anything. I have labels for temp1, temp5, and temp6; and fan1 and fan3 seem to be the fans that were reported by hddtemp. Are you planning on any further changes? If so, I'll wait before putting my .conf file in sensors.d. Thanks a bundle! Harry McGavran -- Harry G.
