Blue light fixed on wd mycloud, (not quite) - need to rebuild access to files1

My Cloud OS 3 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud
1

I decided opening a new thread, comming from 4TB My Cloud disappeared- Fast blinking blue light! HELP

So… after MUCH hard work, and so much help from the WD forum community, which involved following the unbficking process (no formatting) & following many, many, many recommendations, I dd partitions sda1,3,4, 7, then using mkfthext4 /dev/sda1 , 3 and 4 finally I was able regain access.
I finally got the recovery iu, was able to apply firmware 2.31.163. Got steady blue light and WDMYCLOUD access …HOWEVER, in the process I lost the RAID volumes. - The dashboard indicates that there are none and, I’m afraid that if I create a new RAID volume I will lose everything that I’ve been working so much no to lose…

I know the data is there, I never touched /dev/sda2.
if I boot using the USB flash drive, typing the following commands
mkdir /mnt/sda
mkdir /mnt/sdb
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb
cd /mnt/sda
ls

I can list the folders and files. I even was able to copy a couple of files using cp command. The problem is that, I have something like 1Tb of information to copy and, the biggest pendrive that I have is 8Gb…

I tried using a USB external disk, with a 33gb fat32 partition, connected to the USB port, but mycloud recognized it as an external drive and did NOT allow me to boot through it, Mycloud recognizes the USB hard drive, but apparently not as a boot unit.

Can anybody help me on either REGAINING ACCESS to the original volume or AT LEAST some way to copy the files on /dev/sda2 to somewhere else other than the USB flashdrive?

Thx so much in advance

PS: I don’t have any unix knowledge, (apart from the little understanding that I now have, thanks to this ordeal)

You should be able to map the drive on windows or mac. Then copy the files.
open windows explorer. Click on This PC. Then click on map a network drive.
pick a letter. Then browse for the My Cloud. You also could enter
\192.168.x.xxx\Public in the area before the browse button.

PS I can’t find the raid display in the dashboard. If you login to the device using ssh.
you can type dmesg. Look for entries for md0 or raid.
mdadm --detail /dev/md0 will display information about the raid. My Gen2 has the raid set up
on /dev/sda1

I wish I could. Unfortunately if I type the IP \192…I see nothing. Examining using my network, I do see mycloud, but double clicking just goes to mycloud dashboard, all of which is kinda logic, because there are no shares and in order to create shares, first, i would have to have volumes created…

I don’t know how to access the drive using ssh BUT, as I see the ssh access is closed

If you go to the dashboard. Login. go to setting/network. This will show you what IP address the device has. enable SSH. SSH using that IP address

OK… Here’s the dump of what you asked me. I have NO idea what to read from this, except that I THINK it says that there is a raid active

I BELIEVE that I was told that using SSH I could copy the files on the drive into the notebook? Of course that I would prefer reviving the volume and moving on, but if I can get the files copied, then formatting and recreating the volumes, that would be OK as well

THX A LOT FOR YOUR HELP!

6

What does a df -h show. I’m going to be unavailable for a couple of hours. Looks like /dev/sda2 is not mounted. You could try to mount it.
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/HD/HD_a2
if you get an error no directory. Try mkdir /mnt/HD/ND_a2
then try the mount again. Once mounted. You could cd /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Public
your videos should in the Shared Videos folder.

7

This from ssh?

That is I log myself in
Then type
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/HD/HD_a2

if I get an error no directory, then try
mkdir /mnt/HD/ND_a2
And then? reboot or sync or anything else?

8

This is what I did…ssh logged myself in
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/HD/HD_a2
root@WDMyCloud root # mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/HD/HD_a2
mount: mount point /mnt/HD/HD_a2 does not exist

So I tried the other command

root@WDMyCloud root # mkdir /mnt/HD/ND_a2
root@WDMyCloud root # mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/HD/HD_a2
mount: mount point /mnt/HD/HD_a2 does not exist

So…no advance, I tried anyway the cd command, but obviously, nothing.

root@WDMyCloud root # cd /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Public
-sh: cd: can’t cd to /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Public

On the dashboard, no change. Still no volumes, using windows, can’t get anything typing the IP

9

Seems like a typo in your mkdir line: ND_a2

10

You typed ND rather than HD. Also what does the df -h display.

11

Ok…progress!!! I can see the folders on my ssh window connection.

root@WDMyCloud Public # df -h

Still no progress on windows. Nothing visible on \192… and in the case of \192…\Public I get an connection error

image

I guess we’re getting there…maybe? baby steps.

12

So you can SSH into the device. What IP address do you use to enter SSH? Use the same IP.
Also do a ps -eaf|grep smb show the results.

13

Yes, all these last series of commands was using a ssh connection.
The IP is 192.168.33.103
I don’t understand what do you mean by “use the same IP”

root@WDMyCloud Public # ps -eaf|grep smb
1588 root 2592 S grep smb
2869 root 46496 S smbd -D
2871 root 36256 S smbd -D

14

Also need the output of cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
in windows explorer. When you click on this PC then click on map network drive. enter
\192.168.33.103\Public
That is the correct statement. I need to see the smb.conf file to see if Public has been shared.

From Windows Explorer, cannot access \192.168.33.103\Public - I get an error, it doesn’t exists…either if I type it on the address window, or if I try via Map Network Drive.

16

Captain obvious here:

When you type \192.168.33.103, you really are typing the address with TWO leading forward slashes?

\ \192.168.33.103 (without the space between the forward slashes.

This forum software has real problems displaying a double slash.

Apologies if this was too obvious, but it seems like you are really close. Easy to have simple errors completely stymie someone.

If you can’t see the drive by typing the IP address, you probably won’t be able to map it. Also, you try the “device name” i.e. “\ \MyCloud”

17

TWO FORWARD SLASHES, without the space.

\IP or Drive name - Empty folder
\IP\Public - Error , not able to find it

(Yes, i’d like to think that i`m really close, because of all your (all of you) help!. At least I’ve come a HUGE WAY, from no drive at all, to finding the data on the drive, and being able to downgrade the firmware)

18

You need to add the following line to the end of smb.conf
[ Public ]
comment =
path = /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Public
browseable = yes
public = yes
available = yes
oplocks = yes
map archive = no
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
Not sure what editor you are familiar with.
maybe the easy way would be to plug in the bootable USB
cd /etc/samba
cp smb.conf /mnt/USB/
When you plug in the USB it should automatically mount. the type df
Thei will show you the USB name
Mine is /mnt/USB/USB3_b1
so the command would be cp smb.conf /mnt/USB/USB3_b1
Now you can move the USB to windows and use notepad to edit the file.
The hard way would be to use vi
to do that first cp smb.conf smb.conf-sv
vi smb.conf-sv
i
[ Public ]
comment =
path = /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Public
browseable = yes
public = yes
available = yes
oplocks = yes
map archive = no
guest ok = yes
writable = yes

:wq

Now cat smb.conf-sv it should show the new lines.
Note the escape is pressing the ecs key.
if the data is there mv smb.conf smb.conf-old
mv smb.conf-sv smb.conf
now reboot
now try to map the drive.

19

Thank you rac8006… I’ll try this tomorrow. I feel terribly today, I got a bad cold so I’m done for the day.

I thank you so very much.

I will try this tomorrow and keep you updated.

Just to know. If I do this, it will make the partition visible from windows explorer, correct? That is, so that I can copy the files, STILL then (once I copy the files) I would have to rebuild the RAID volumes? and, of course, copy everything BACK to the drive.

Just wondering if I’m understanding this whole thing.

20

Argh! CLIFFHANGER!!

I will definitely tune in tomorrow to see how this turns out.
