I'm trying to gather information on how suitable the TS-473A/TS-673A/TS-873A models are for running unRAID and other OSes. I've been able to figure everything out except for which sensors these units use. Ideally I would just order one of these and play around with it myself but where I'm located that's not possible without risking large restocking fees and/or shipping fees if it doesn't have the right sensors for other OSes to recognize. So I was hoping I could find a volunteer who would be willing to run a few commands via SSH that would tell us which sensors are present in these units.
Step one would be to install EntWare which is a light weight package manager that lets us install other Linux tools. Details on how to do that can be found here: https://github.com/Entware/Entware/wiki ... n-QNAP-NAS. Basically it's downloading a QNAP package and then manually installing it via the App Center.
Step two is to connect to the unit via SSH and install the lm-sensors and lm-sensors-detect packages. Details on how to install packages can be found here under the Using Repo heading: https://github.com/Entware/entware/wiki. Basically it's running "opkg update" then "opkg lm-sensors" and "opkg lm-sensors-detect"
Step three is to run the "sensors" tool to tell us which sensors are detected by default and then to run the "sensors-detect" tool to try and detect all other sensors. There's information about these tools and sample outputs here amongst other details related to unRAID: https://wiki.unraid.net/Setting_up_CPU_ ... re_sensing. It's the output from these two tools that I'm after.
If anyone is willing to help out with this endeavor that would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Harry

I don't have an x73 but just a heads up that I don't have much faith in the entware builds of lm-sensors. Sensors detect found nothing on one of my boxes (x88).

Re: Looking for Volunteer to Try Something on TS-473A/TS-673A/TS-873A
I found a volunteer to try this. Here's the output for anyone else that might be interested:
Here you go. Latest QTS 4.x version on a brand new TS-673A
[/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Entware/sbin] # ./sensors
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Tdie: +42.0 C (high = +70.0 C)
Tctl: +42.0 C
[/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Entware/sbin] # ./sensors-detect
# sensors-detect version 3.6.0
# System: Default string Default string [Default string]
# Kernel: 4.14.24-qnap x86_64
# Processor: AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B Quad-core CPU @ 1.95 GHz (23/17/0)
This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): YES
modprobe: module cpuid not found in modules.dep
Failed to load module cpuid.
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
AMD K8 thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 10h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 11h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 12h and 14h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 15h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 16h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 17h thermal sensors... Success!
(driver `k10temp')
AMD Family 15h power sensors... No
AMD Family 16h power sensors... No
Hygon Family 18h thermal sensors... No
Intel digital thermal sensor... No
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No
Intel 5500/5520/X58 thermal sensor... No
VIA C7 thermal sensor... No
VIA Nano thermal sensor... No
Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): YES
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x8528
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... No
Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no): YES
Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No
Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): YES
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No
Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): YES
Using driver `i2c-piix4' for device 0000:00:14.0: AMD KERNCZ SMBus
modprobe: module i2c-piix4 not found in modules.dep
Failed to load module i2c-piix4.
Next adapter: SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0b00 (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): YES
Client found at address 0x51
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'... No
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No
Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Yes
(confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip)
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `k10temp':
* Chip `AMD Family 17h thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)
Warning: the required module k10temp is not currently installed
on your system. Check https://hwmon.wiki.kernel.org/device_support_status for
driver availability.
No modules to load, skipping modules configuration.
