i have installed omv_2.0.2_Test.tar.gz on my Gen 1 and everything went smooth. did all the update and changed system from RU to EN. and when i looked at the LED light on the drive it’s white. is that normal ?

is there a way i can master reset or i there is a fast way i can reinstall omv ?

also is config.img needed when installing OMV ?

If you have access to omv interface, is that it’s good
Of repositories are available, needs more of these files “omv_2.0.2_Test.tar.gz”
If you want the latest version (omv3 erasmus), install clean debian jessie and following this tutorial :

echo “deb Index of /public erasmus main” > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list
echo “127.0.1.1 MyCloud.localdomain MyCloud” >> /etc/hosts
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

apt-get install openmediavault-keyring postfix apt-transport-https

apt-get update
apt-get install openmediavault
omv-initsystem
reboot

Images are available here to return to the basic firmware, the easiest and fastest, must unmount the drive :

DO NOT open your MyCloud if you intend to keep your warranty. I am personally writing this procedure and I have zero ties to Western Digital. They would probably n…

Another interesting thing to avoid reinstall everything, make a backup of the sytem (from the SSH) :

dd if=/dev/sda of=/DataVolume/shares/Public/mycloud.img bs=1M count=5000
