I test with hdparm -y /dev/sda, my hdd enter standby mode at once, however it wake up a few seconds later, is it normal ?> I have installed ramlog, do i have to modified samba start file and ramlog file ? How to do it ?> Thx
In the Samba configuration file located at /etc/samba/smb.conf under the server global section it should have a log entry:
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
Make sure ramlog is running with
/etc/init.d/ramlog status
I had to add an entry to /etc/rc.init to restart ramlog because the system tries to rotate its logs until the date is set. This is because the My Cloud does not have a hardware clock.

Spindown of HDD work great in CleanDebian. For OMV need more tuning (Disable or modify all rrdtool, bootlogd and other statistics daemons)
fake-hw clock writes to /etc/fake-hwclock.data and this spins up the disk. I changed the ‘FILE’ environment variable, which sets the location of the file that gets written, to change it to /var. However it didn’t work (for me). How do you change it? (I couldn’t, which is why I disabled it and installed ntpdate instead).
please would re-running the install script for OMV, on a WDMyCloud already running OMV, perform a new/clean installation without messing with the partitions (I mean without creating new useless one)?
No data to be saved in my case, I’d just like to restart from scratch.
can I install with the guide from post 1 and get an fully functional OMV, where I can install owncloud and miniDLNA? I use Windows Phone and the wd2go app ist really bad, so Iam searching for a way to install owncloud in my cloud 2tb to use the much better owncloud app for windows phone.
And the other question is, can I get back to “normal” WD Firmware after installing the OMV?
I know these quetions were asked in this thread, but I don’t know if the answers are the same, cause there seemed to be many changes in the guide and software Fox_exe posted.

I installed just Clean Debian after reading that Fox_exe keeps the instructions on the initial post updated. Brilliant work from him. So the first answer is yes, The second part - about returning to “normal” (if that’s what you want to call it) WD Firmware, that’s a yes too. I can’t see why you would want to, though.
I too stupidly tried to upgrade to jessie and bricked the MyCloud. Could you provide step-by-step instructions on how you managed to unbricked it?

Looks like I have to compile my own kernel to get anything newer than 3.2?
Sorry, I can’t, I’m a bit of a linux n00b myself, but here’s roughly what I did. Don’t blame me if you make it worse:
There’s unbricking instructions in Fox_exe’s google drive. It’s linked to in the first post. Look at the instructions in ‘Replace HDD - English.txt’ from ‘8-2’ and forward (I didn’t follow all of the instructions exactly, obviously, as the partitioning and formatting was already done).
I pried open my myCloud. If you’re carefull, I *think* you can slide the white cover forward and off without breaking anything. I did break some clips.
I hooked up the disk to a computer. Pay careful attention to device names! I did the thing with setting up the raid. I downloaded ‘original_v3.04.01-230.tar.gz’, extracted, and then I dd’d the backup images to the proper devices (be careful with dd!). Then i put the myCloud back together, and powered it up. I did an update, just to be sure everything was back to normal.
well like usual i managed to screw it up…lol I did the clean debian install then ran the /run_me_after_reboot.sh which took 1.5 hours to complete. Now i lost access to the data that was there and when i click on the media server on my tvit just brings up a bunch of movies that are in russian. Can no longer see the drive on the network now either

run_me_after_reboot.sh should take less than a minute. Also, from clean Debian you will need to set up NFS or Samba so that your shares are visible on the network. There’s loads of earlier posts about setting up Samba. HTH
