Greetengs,


We experience permanent problem with w83627dhg driver on serveral machines.

Software version: lm_sensors-2.10.7-9.el5
Sensors driver name: w83627dhg-isa-0a10
OS: CentOS release 5.8 (Final)


============
Description:
============
We use lm_sensors together with nagios/nrpe check_sensors plugin in order
to monitor sensors' status. The problem is that after editing sensors.conf
according to our needs (e.g. ignoring inactive fans or setting min and max
values for specific sensors) and applying the changes with "sensors -s"
command, the sensor's configuration drops back to defaults at a random
moment usually within ~5-30 hours after "sensors -s" has been run. This
makes nagios/nrpe to set the false alarm and send an e-mail to the
customer, and this brings us a lot of pain as long as it happens almost
every night.

========
Example:
========
Below there's sensors' output right after it fell back to defaults:

root@working ~ # sensors
w83627dhg-isa-0a10
Adapter: ISA adapter
Case Fan: 11637 RPM  (min = 12053 RPM, div = 1) ALARM
CPU Fan:  11739 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, div = 1) ALARM
CPU Temp:  +38.0 C  (high =  +0.0 C, hyst = +60.0 C)  [CPU diode ]
AUX Temp:  +29.5 C  (high = +45.0 C, hyst = +60.0 C)  [thermistor]
vid:      +1.300 V

Running "sensors -s" again solves the problem...

root@working ~ # sensors -s
root@working ~ # sensors
w83627dhg-isa-0a10
Adapter: ISA adapter
Case Fan: 11440 RPM  (min = 6026 RPM, div = 2)
CPU Fan:  11637 RPM  (min = 6026 RPM, div = 2)
CPU Temp:  +38.0 C  (high = +56.0 C, hyst = +60.0 C)  [CPU diode ]
AUX Temp:  +29.5 C  (high = +45.0 C, hyst = +60.0 C)  [thermistor]
vid:      +1.300 V

but only for ~5-30 hours, until it drops back to defaults again.

At the moment we haven't found any dependencies between the bug itself and
os/chassis, it occurs on different machines and OSes (so far we had it on
CentOS 5/6 and Debian 5/6).
Please investigate. Feel free to request any additional information you
might need.
