Sorry, just saw the notes from fox at the bottom of your post. Did you have any luck with this? I’m not up to speed on what and where all the repos are, so if anyone has the correct lines to add to the sources, I would appreciate it!
No, sorry – as yet I’ve done nothing else about this; miniDLNA is only a peripheral interest/objective for me. I have now installed Plex from the OMV settings and will test that as a media server. My main interest is getting MyCloud to work efficently as NAS - I was fed up with the WD software and flacky connections. Thus far, OMV seems more robust and reliable
Thanks for the info, but TFTP method never worked for me, I used the disasembly method again Now I’m ready to try new stuff! I’m more than curious to try DSM5. Keep up your good work!
Is there any way to get the MyCloud to sleep/standby mode and the awake again. If I put the drive into standby mode, either from OMV gui or terminal it closes down, the LED goes blue (from green) but then I can’t get it to wake again.
I have tried various WOL protocols but the drive never spins up again.
Without going into sleep/standby mode MyCloud HDD seems to be always spinning, which is not ideal in terms of power and extending life of the drive.
OMV crashed while I was playing with WOL problem and now I only get a white LED on powerup, fan is running HDD platter sounds as though it’s spinning but no green LED just solid white :cry:
UPDATE -
LED did go solid green after 20-30 minutes but still no visibility on LAN, SSH terminal or via GUI
Hi. Thanks Fox_exe for all the effort you have put to this.
But I have one problem with your clean debian.
When I run “apt-get install libevent-dev” I get the following error
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libp11-kit0 : Depends: libc6 (< 2.14) but 2.19-18 is to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
Your libc6 from Jessie, but you try install package from Wheezy. (Version’s conflicts)
Rollback libc6 or use Jessie as default repo and install latest software (Need upgrade kernel - see in g.drive and hold udev package (dont upgrade or you get brick))

Sorry Guys, I have given up with this project! :confounded:
I managed to ‘brick’ MyCloud unit and have decided to pull the drive and use it as a more conventional HDD on my WiFi network. I enjoyed playing with OMV; it is so much better than the shabby, unreliable WD software. Fox_exe deserves to be highly commended for his work getting Debian FW revisions and OMV installations working for the WD-MyCloud. However, IMHO none of this should be necessary on a commercial product – it really should work straight out of the box!
I cracked open the case of MyCloud and the 3TB drive is now sitting in my old PowerMac while I try to make the data accessible via OSX.
Does anybody know how to make linux ext partitions RW on OSX?
I can mount them using OSX Fuse - but they are read only, and I don’t seem to be able to copy the data to a reformatted HFS+ partition.
I sincerely wish the MyCloud community ‘good luck’ and especially to those using revised FW & OMV builds - I hope that your strength & perseverance is stronger than mine :wink:
Yeah, my “Firmwares” - only for test / fun / teach_something / etc…
And possible make it better (Force samba’s speed, add more functionality like auto-restore via Reset button etc.). But i dont need it anymore (I buy nettop and make all-in-one server based on ProxMox)
I restored my 4tb wdmycloud with Fox_exe’s guide on the first page. First it showed in the web UI 0 space left, so I made a quick system restore. But now it shows only 1.8 tb. Can someone help me with that?
Thanks Fox_exe for your great work!

Is there any way to enable Ip filtering in this Debian image? I’ve installed fail2ban as I’m getting multiple login attempts to the SSH, but it looks like it’s unable to block the IPs because IP filtering is not available:
~# iptables -n -L
iptables v1.4.14: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
The repeated login attempts seem to be causing high CPU load for the sshd process, otherwise I wouldn’t be too worried. Would like to autoban all of these hacking attempts.
Oh hey, while I’m at it, I had to do a TFTP recovery on this device sooo many times. Eventually, I worked out the RAID partition was messed up and managed to fix it with mdadm.
But, during all of those TFTP fixes, I always had to wait about an hour for the new kernel to be transferred via TFTP. But I found out you can speed this up to about 3 mins by tweaking the tftp commands listed in your recovery guide:
It would seem that DenyHosts works, whereas Fail2Ban does not on this image, which is fine by me. Would suggest everyone installs it! If some botnet discovers your port 22 open, they’ll do a dictionary attack on it at their leisure.

I also have this problem with “iptables”, are there any solutions to this?
