Hi, I was trying to create a file called 'pwm1' manually as that is what the script creates - just has a number in it to tell the fanoveride process how to work stuff, but script was failing with permission denied. ( all based on a discussion at https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-to-ReadyNAS/How-to-control-fanspeed-on-a-RN104/td-p/911970 ).
I can write to other places on same drive so is mounted read/write. So, even if nothing happens, with previous permissions I should be able to write where I like as root shouldn't I?

The 'files' depend on the underlying device driver(?), so maybe the driver was updated with the firmware update so it doesn't expose the (?) fan control. What was the name and contents of the file you are trying to recreate? > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bryce > Stenberg > Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2015 3:38 PM > To: Canterbury Linux Users Group > Subject: [Linux-users] Permissions: root access but can't write to file? > > 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).
