zcfan not working on Arch
I do not know what can be problem, zcfan is installed from AUR, service enabled and the file:
/etc/modprobe.d/99-fancontrol.conf
is created with:
options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
systemctl status zcfan:
systemctl status zcfan.service

sudo zcfan:
[CFG] At 90C fan is set to maximum
[CFG] At 80C fan is set to medium
[CFG] At 70C fan is set to low
[ERR] level "full-speed" not supported, using level 7
[ERR] /proc/acpi/ibm/fan: write: Invalid argument (did you enable fan_control=1?)
[ERR] Quitting due to failure during first run
P.S. When I put "thinkpad_acpi.fan_control=1" in kernel line of systemd-boot entry, everything works fine. Also everything works fine when manual load thinkpad_acpi module with fan_control=1 and than start zcfan.
Yes, just put "options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1" in kernel line of your bootloader...

You need to regenerate the initramfs to include the .conf file. Try sudo mkinitcpio -P on your terminal.
