  1. If you use this instruction - no.
  2. No need to get full-size image. Just RootFS, kernel and config. (See header)
  3. See this:  http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud/ALL-OF-MY-Cloud-Problems-Solved/td-p/776603
  4. Yes. Sometime WD replace “dead” cloud to another or repair hem in few days.
