I didn't find time to > investigate that. qcontrol has a bug on systemd based systems: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=852127 In short the rcS.d scripts aren't run even with LSB compat stuff (which only covers rc«N».d). There are some system units in the source but they aren't packaged (and IIRC don't work as things stand). I've been meaning to sort this out for ages but never got around to it. My qnap systems are all running sysvinit. Ian.
Re: Qnap TS-109 II Status light flashing, no LAN LED
How would I test that? On startup with serial port connected, I can see the LAN LED flashing briefly before turning off. /sys/class/leds directory is empty. Does it still has something to do with attempting to use a non-existent fan?
