Re: Red/green blinking LED on QNAP TS220



Hi Moritz and others,

Thanks for you help. I could fix the problem, but I have some
corrections on the info:

This is about btrfs, I am using ext4.
And about 1GB RAM, this device has 501 MB RAM.

typo. It's  /lib/systemd/system/qcontrold.service

I did this.

Gave problems:
root@qnap:/home/paul# dpkg –configure qcontrol
dpkg: error: need an action option
root@qnap:/home/paul# dpkg-reconfigure qcontrol
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: qcontrol is broken or not fully installed

I did again "apt-get -t stretch-backports install qcontrol". This gave a
warning:
----
W: APT had planned for dpkg to do more than it reported back (0 vs 4).
   Affected packages: qcontrol:armel
---

After that I could start qcontrold with "service qcontrold start" and
the LED does not blink anymore. The fan seems to be controlled (says
"service qcontrold status".

Flashing the kernel and initrmafs takes some time...

Thanks for the help!

With regards,
Paul
