Please stop detecting UPS serial number
I have a Tripp Lite SMART1500LCD UPS attached to my RN2120 via USB. Since day 1, the 2120 has given me hourly warnings that it cannot communicate with the UPS. This happens with OS 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7.5. With extensive online research, I found another user who temporarily fixed the same problem by editing /etc/nut/ups.conf and commenting out the line: serial = xxxxxx then restarting nut. I used SSH to examine my own ups.conf and tried the same. I shut down nut and restarted it - it recognzed my UPS perfectly. I noticed that nut started on its own saw the Tripp Lite serial number as "FW-2473 A" with a space. Front View always saw it as "FW-2473_A". Of course my edit was wiped out on every reboot. I tried making /etc/nut/ups.conf read only and even immutable, but Front View found somewhere else to put the configuration and still shows an "unknown" UPS with the serial number "FW-2473_A". If ReadyNAS would just stop detecting the Tripp Lite serial number, I would be fine. If ReadyNAS detected it properly with the space and escaped it correctly in ups.conf, I would be fine.ReadyNAS 2120 not seeing 5 TB USB Drive
I'm having a problem where my ReadyNAS 2120 isn't recognizing my Seagate SRD0NF2 5 TB USB 3.0 Expansion Desktop Drive. I've formatted the drive on my PC and can read/write to it without any issue. The drive has been formatted NTFS with various allocation sizes, none of which seem to do the trick to allow the NAS to see the drive. The documentation for drive compatibility seems to be a bit lacking, but from what I've found if it's readable on a PC it SHOULD be readable by the ReadyNAS. Any ideas folks? Thanks in advance!SolvedSync to USB drive instead of clear and full backup
Is there a way to sync a folder on the ReadyNAS to an USB drive instead of having it cleared and fully backuped? I have a large share on the NAS and a 2 TB USB drive attached. On this share new files will often be created and old deleted and this will quickly fill the USB drive when using incremental backups. Clearing the whole backup and then copying over 1 TB of files which were already there doesn't seem like a great idea. I've found a workaroud here: How to sync NAS and USB drive , but maybe there is a cleaner way of doing it in the current firmware?Solved
