After some extensive testing, I decided to drop the zyxel app_wd. I don't know for sure what's wrong/not working, but since I moved to debian, and performed the latest package update, my NAS ist working BETTER than with the zyxel firmware. Fan control ist automatic (probably hardware controlled), and works very well. But mostly my drives are much quieter, and up to 27% faster since I dropped mdadm, and moved to a simple NFS/Samba solution. So thanks again Bodhi for your work, this thing now rocks.
I keep wondering myself though: why would a company like zyxel distribute a sofware that makes the NAS worse/slower than an out-of the box debian installation ?
