guys ... do you think this board will be supported ? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004685256832.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.0.0.15a9166eaN84bc&pdp_npi=2%40dis!RON!RON 1%2C150.42!RON 1%2C150.42!!!!!%40!12000030093602778!sh i mean i226 and i225 are preatty similar ...... and and 6 sata are not a bad board for a nas ... right ?

i get around 58-60w on my microserver gen8 with 4 disks: 2 HGST 4TB and 2 WD blacks 1TB .....is not as efficient as using governors as in 6.2.3 In 6.2.3 when i was hammering the cpu difference between performance profile and powesaver or conservative was about 10-15w....but at least im trying to cut power and especially heat so that is i use the method with this method unfortunately has less modulation in cpu freq PER core .... from what i`ve seen if the load is high on one single core, all will boost all to the same freq ... so is like on/off not granular increments

update ...looks like now is working .... it ramps up and down as expected. Not as smooth as previous method with governors , where individual cores have different speeds .... but is all good for my purpose .... thank you for your support and time

hmm ... i did not reinstall or do anything after the initial install that stated it failed yes ... it appears to be clocked down but the scaler service status say is not started root@Polaris:~# grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo cpu MHz : 1600.000 cpu MHz : 1600.000 cpu MHz : 1600.000 cpu MHz : 1600.000 cpu MHz : 1600.000 cpu MHz : 1600.000 cpu MHz : 1600.000 cpu MHz : 1600.000 root@Polaris:~# systemctl status cpufreq-userspace-scaler.service ● cpufreq-userspace-scaler.service - ACPI cpufreq userspace scaler Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cpufreq-userspace-scaler.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2022-07-23 12:50:28 EEST; 7h ago Process: 13924 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/scaler.sh (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 13924 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started.

while looking around the file system i found some mentioning for governors or power states in /sys/module/ folder ....maybe this also helps Why the hell synology removed the governors .....pff

cpucorecount=$(nproc) instead of {print $4-1} part ? ..... to be clear ..... here , after =? # Get cpu cores count minus 1, to allow maping from 0 cpucorecount=$(grep cores /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u | awk '{ print $4 - 1 }') and here ? # Set load steps to trigger frequencies scaling, this user overidable lowload=$(grep cores /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u | awk '{ print $4 * 0.3 * 100 }') midload=$(grep cores /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u | awk '{ print $4 * 0.6 * 100 }')

resurecting this topic .... is there a way to make this work on dsm 7.1? paths for govs appear to be missing

hello ...a bit offtopic ...or i dont know ... but ill ask the question here Anyone knows how to change the CPU governors in dsm7.1? is a bit stupid that CPU runns full freq even if is doing nothing the usual echo conservative > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor is not working ... the path does not exist .... maybe govs are not enabled in kernel ?

well that is good ...as we dont want auto updates anyway ....and is "bad" as i dont see if a new update is released....but i can live with that.....ill check it one in couple of moths and update then if there is also a loader patch for that update. maybe on the next update ill migrate if possible to J option Thanks

ok ... i managed to install 7.1.0 update 2 (is the latest right? for 3622xs i see some have update 3 but on here is dont see any for broawell 7.1 https://archive.synology.com/download/Os/DSM/7.1-42661-3) all data is still there ... some permission issues and some apps that no longer works ....but is fine. Also i dont know why is say connection failed .... because is all working There was indeed less then 600MB on "/" partition, sufficient not to trigger the warning in 6.2.3 but less than it actually it needed for a full upgrade .... the was a small backupfolder from a docker in "/" that should not be there(made it some years ago) ...after i cleared deleted it got around 760 mb of free space and the install proceed fine Thanks for your help and input /creating this fine script. As a suggestion @pocopico and @Peter Suh maybe you can add a check in your scripts for "/" to have the required space so you can avoid guys like me wasting your time:D with stupid questions Synolo team also dumb as they put out a corrupted file error, while actually there is no space on the patition Thanks again

this has about 300MB left over .... but still the .pat has 350 so .....maybe is getting corrupted during the upload because the lack of space ? cleared out the space ...redid the bootloader ...got in the same situation .... network or file corupted , this time network
