Seems this ■■■■ has never been fixed.
My cloud ex2 ultra that I’m unfortunate to own has been killing the discs for weeks, 24/7, day and night.
I got sick of being hardly able to login to web console (so slow response time) and having dial-up speed when backing up photos from My Cloud iOS app when on home WLAN.
This is so ■■■■ ridiculous, tortureware apps…
I enabled SSH access, and after googling around suspected this Wdmcserver - #3 by skiwi
But
/etc/init.d/wdphotodbmergerd stop
/etc/init.d/wdmcserverd stop
didn’t reduce 70dB disk crawling at all.
I ran atop command and hit d (credit to linux - What Process is using all of my disk IO - Stack Overflow)
And that was it, five clamscan process eating up >90% CPU.
Went straight away to web console → Apps → Anti-Virus Essentials → set run app to OFF.
20db now.
Going to uninstall another piece of tortureware provided by WD for keeping us happy with the NAS device.
