UPDATE:
I’ve been having horrible response times from my 6TB MY BOOK LIVE DUO and finally SSH’d in to see what was wrong. I discovered that MediaCrawler had re-enabled itself. I don’t recall any firmware updates so maybe the MBL automatically updated itself and turned Mediacrawler back on. AFAIK I have automatic updates turned off.
So I repeated my solution in the OP and now Mediacrawler is dead again.
Unfortunately the problem was transfer speeds of about 50 KB/second and it’s still about 50 KB/second.
I’m beginning to get really sorry I purchased these three WD MyBookLive NAS devices. At 50 KB/s it’s practically unusable.
