Hi @Cerberus,

Have you opened a Support Case? If not opened, for more information, please contact the WD Technical Support team for the best assistance and troubleshooting:

Impressive Job!. I Think I’ll give it a try on my single bay gen2

17

where is your Task Scheduler app still in development I am intrested in this also :slight_smile: deleted the original post as i seen a download but it just dl`ed the picture lmbo :rofl: :rofl: :joy:

Fantastic!
Rsync server looks great and works perfectly! I really don’t know how to thank…

I briefly considered creating an app to enable USB WiFi device support and load kernel modules as needed. However, it would require compiling new device-specific Linux kernels because WD failed to enable the required configuration paramaters.

  • # CONFIG_WIRELESS is not set
  • # CONFIG_WLAN is not set

Compiling new Linux kernels for amd64 (x86_64) hardware is easy enough to do, but compiling new Linux kernels for ARM hardware is a can of worms I don’t want to open, so I guess it means no WiFi support… thanks to WD.

Although I would like to have WiFi support for my PR4100 boxes, so I may eventually make it happen, but only for amd64 (x86_64) hardware.

Since the days of My Cloud OS5 are numbered, I’ve been moving away from NAS app development and begun experimenting with various methods of replacing the operating system of the PR4100 and PR2100 entirely.

Unraid looks promising, but I’m NOT a fan of pay-to-play software, so I’m not sure how far I’ll pursue it. There’s also Proxmox, etc…

Full hardware control is bit of a problem, but I have that covered thanks to some Linux kernel tweaks and a custom binary hardware daemon I wrote many moons ago, which provides automatic fan speed control and even makes the LCD fully functional. However, the source code is private, and I intend to keep it that way.

Not sure WHY you want wifi support for a NAS box; unless you are turning the NAS into a wireless access point.

It sounds like a formula for REALLY poor performance. For both movies and large file transfers.

Granted; I have the old MyPassportWireless devices. Those are REALLY cool (IMHO); but that’s because they had both WIFI and a battery in a fairly portable form factor. Essentially, it was a portable NAS/Router combination - - → Ideal for streaming media in remote locations (like longhaul aircraft). I miss doing stuff like that. . .but honestly a 1TB microsd card in a (non-apple) tablet is more than I actually need.

Are there any other requirements for MidnightCommander for an EX4100?

After installation, when I try to run ‘mc’ I receive the following error :
/usr/bin/mc: line 2: mcx: not found

I see the executable is linked to ‘/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/MidnightCommander/armhf/usr/bin/mc’. If I attempt to run that I get this error :
/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/MidnightCommander/armhf/usr/bin/mc: error while loading shared libraries: libslang.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is there another BIN file here that includes these libraries?

31

This was fixed recently, then tested and verified to work properly on the EX2 Ultra ARM hardware. It has NOT been tested on the EX4100 however, because I don’t have the hardware for testing. Download it again, then reinstall the app.

32

I just downloaded MidnightCommander_4.8.26.240121_My_Cloud_EX4100.bin this morning from this page. Is there another version or location I should be trying?

33

No, the EX4100 My Cloud OS5 firmware likely has some oddball difference that hasn’t been accounted for. I don’t have time to deal with it now, so I’ve pulled the Midnight Commander app for the time being.

34

This morning I tried the rsync server package on my DL4100 on firmware 5.27.161. The rsync server daemon does not start …
When I execute: /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/RsyncServer/amd64/usr/bin/rsync --version
I get: error while loading shared libraries: libxxhash.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I saw that I was the first to try the rsync server on a DL4100, so I guess this wasn’t noticed before.
Can I solve this problem myself, or does this require a fixed rsync server app?

35

It’s just a missing shared library dependency, so it should be a quick and easy fix.There are some differences between the OS5 firmware for each My Cloud NAS device, so things like this do pop up from time to time.

No, the app will need to be updated. However, I’m currently busy with a computer migration, so it may take a while.

36

OK, thanks for the quick reply! I will wait patiently until you have time to fix it. Thanks again.

37

@Cerberus, did you have time to build a new package for the RsyncServer (DL4100) yet?

Hi! On my Ex2 Ultra (5.27.161) symlink for .secrets not created automatically, need to create it manually. Except this issue, the rsync work fine for synology backup
