I’ve been working on writing up some info on how to run Debian on these devices and can tell you can look at all the temperature data from within debian. For example you could:
Copy a debian live cd image to a usb drive
Hi, thank you very much for the helpful response, unfortunately I am not conversant at all with Linux but am happy to give your instructions a try. I have however fallen at the first hurdle. I will boot the device using USB but looking at the Debian site there are a lot of different options and I haven't a clue which file I need to follow your instructions.
If it makes any difference All my systems here are Windows 10 with the latest standard version of the Buffalo software on the 5800 in question. To provide more background, I acquired the unit as a spares or repair unit and have populated it with a selection of old drives I had lying around. I have listed them in case there are any known culprits among them. At the moment there is no data stored on the unit and its intended use was just as a backup device so isn't mission critical but I would like it to be reliable and worthy of drive investment in the future.
WD Green 1tb WD10EZRX
Samsung 1tb HD103UJ
2 x Hitachi 1tb HDT7210
Seagate 1tb Constellation ES
WD green 1tb WD10EACS
Seagate 3tb ST3000DM001
Toshiba 1tb HDWD110
I dont believe it is a disk issue as the " I10 Too Hot" warning displays as soon as the unit boots up and I doubt that the drives have done enough to get remotely warm at this point unless the error is being stored and a notification automatically provided on next boot. At this stage we see the warning but the device doesnt shut down or anything. All fans seem to be operating normaly and the heat produced is certainly cooler than another 5800 unit I have running.
In order to progress further would it be possible for you to provide a link to the file that I need to download to use to boot the unit from a USB drive.
Thanks in advance for your help.
