Hi, I've ssh'd into a Netgear NAS box to do a quick hack to adjust the fan speeds up (previous adjustments disappeared on latest firmware update). I need to do this as Netgear's defaults are a bit low, at different times I've already had two 3TB drives fail possibly related to running hot. Anyway, I'm trying to copy a file into '/sys/devices/platform/nct6775.2608' but get: -bash: Permission denied I think this is based on debian but not sure, nor do I know how to tell. The directory listing for 'nct6775.2608' is: drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 Oct 13 14:37 nct6775.2608 Sudo doesn't seem to exist, and I am connected as 'root'. I read the above permissions to say root should be able to read, write and execute - but not today :( So I've added files here in the past, before this update, does anyone have any idea what I might be missing? Thanks, Bryce Stenberg. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
