This is my first post here. I've had my Readynas Ultra since yesterday evening and so far I'm happy with it 🙂 I've seen people had problems running Truecrypt and wanted to share how I installed it. It's currently building an encrypted drive, so I cannot guarantee 100% for sure it will work with the fuse mount parts until later but here we go:
First, good to know about ReadyNAS Ultra 4: * It seems like it is built upon a very old Debian Etch but this is already established elsewhere. * I did not buy the ReadyNAS Plus but still have dual core according to /proc/cpuinfo. One of the biggest "advantages" to buying Plus was that it had dual core according to the retail store. They specifically said this box would have a single core.
I hope i haven't missed anything but it's possible since I tried a lot of stuff before I got everything to work. Give a reply if it seems like I missed a step or if an unneeded package was installed! Furthermore I'm not exactly following debian guidelines on how to install source code when installing fuse, so you'll do this on your own risk. It's a quick hack
0. Add more repos to sources.list. It should look like this:
deb http://www.readynas.com/packages 4.2.24/ deb http://archive.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free deb http://archive.debian.org/backports.org etch-backports main contrib non-free deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free
1. Install deps
apt-get update && apt-get install less build-essential libfuse-dev libc6-dev gcc g++ gdb libtag1-dev uuid-dev pkg-config make
2. Download Truecrypt console & a later version of fuse. I've put the files up on my server just to be sure the versions I know work don't go away, but if you rather trust other sources feel free to fetch them elsewhere.
