Upgrade NUT to later version
Just got myself a ReadyNas Ultra (2-disk x86 based). Nice little NAS, but it does not play nicely with the PowerWalker VI 1000 LCD UPS that I also have.
Seems NUT on the NAS is at v2.0.5, whereas latest version is 2.6.
Also, it seems this topic has been up for discussion earlier (http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=45617) without any real results from Netgear.
Considering that NUT is in fairly active development there is A LOT to be gained in terms of compatibility with more UPS:s, if Netgear were to upgrade to later NUT version.
That said, has anyone tried doing just an "apt-get install nu", as per http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.chunked/ar01s05.html ?
Worst case there would be a conflict.. best case it would work.
Has anyone tried?

- Return the Ultra 2 (if you can) and get the new ReadyNAS RN312. The ReadyNAS RN312 comes with a new OS ReadyNAS OS 6. The latest firmware (currently 6.0.4) has nut 2.6.5
- Ouch... nicer NAS, yes, but also higher price point. And I am not sure I can return the Ultra... bummer.
Hmm, worth a try upgrading NUT och the Ultra, it seems. Kind of likely that the UI will break, I guess, but if going for cli access it might be fine.. - Just wanted to confirm that the RN312 indeed has NUT 2.6.5 pre-installed. Nice!
Still, the web UI does not seem to allow attaching to that remote NUT server - which is a shame..
Attaching the UPS to the RN312 sort of works, the RN312 detects it as a UPS, but does not recognise the UPS model.
More investigations needed, will report on my blog at http://blog.ptarmiganlabs.com, and probably here too.
