Appears there’s lots of people suffering with this issue, so rather than start a new post i’ll cut to the chase. Is this being addressed by WD?

It appears what is in the following post can solve the issue.  It did, at least for me.

There is a comment from a WD staff in the thread above, so WD is aware of this.

I hope next round of firmware update will address this issue.  

At least there should be a switch in the Dashboard to keep photodbmerger and wdmcserver off, so that everyone won’t have to bother tinkering with SSH.
