@norbalino I choose DSM5 !
But for the moment, no entire success…
I’ve finish all steps without any problems but, don’t start correctly.
if someone have an idea for fix that ?
Led control not realized in kernel, so power led always white.
Just wait ~5 min and try to connect to your wdmc (Like this: https://192.168.1.123:5000 * change IP to WDMC’s ip adress)
@Fox_exe, nothing… But i’ve re-install WD OS with my external case and My Rescue image disk i’ve made before, and retest from the start, and no problem at the mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda3 step !
It’s writing Superblock for now and take a long time !
I Thinks it’s good now, i’ll say you if all it’s good when i’ll finish !
But, thank you so much for you work !
EDIT - 20min Later:
Same like first try… Nothing Boot - Yellow Fixe LED - WDMC don’t appear on my network interface - HDD don’t turn (silence from it)
I don’t understand why… no problem in process, but finally, don’t work correctly …
Someone was already in my case ?

@Killians try to install OSM…
I didn’t have time yet to install DSM5, but i will tell my experience…soon
I’m work for now, but i had an idea when I woke up.
I’ve an 4TB MyCloud, and I’ve think to a sector error ?
If I’ve allocated too much sector ? The problem is maybe in this way ?
What you think about that ?
Nope.
HDD size doesn’t matter.
Note: I exchange my Gen1 to Gen2, so now I can’t check or test something.
I continue support this thread, but no updates or fixes in future (debian/omv/dsm)
Sorry folks, both thanks for support and feedback.
Hi @Fox_exe, ok thanks for your response !
What’s the diference between Gen 1 and Gen? In WD site i only found Gen 1 and Gen 2 for MyCloud Mirror…this thread is for MyCloud or MyCloud Mirror ?
By your experience, do you recommend DSM5 or Debian wheezy + OMV ?
Thanks in advance.
Do a forum search of this My Cloud subforum and you’ll find several threads discussing the difference between the v3.x/v4.x My Clouds and the newer v2.x My Clouds. Primarily its slightly better hardware and a different OS on the newer v2.x My Clouds. The v3.x/v4.x My Clouds use a form of Debian and the newer v2.x My Clouds use a form of Linux with Busybox.
No problem @Fox_exe, i’ll retry tomorrow, and i’ll trip with SysResc Boot, and try to make it with my external case…
I’m curious… 
I’m not Linux professional, but i’ve come little knowledge. And if it without success, i’ll install OMV, for try it… because official WDMC OS is so limited…
Thank you for reading 
I’ll let you know
@Fox_exe, please help me!

I need to connect by ethernet cable to do the recovery?
I’ve tried OMV and won a White/Yellow LED!
Its ARMHF (Arm v7l, 32bit)
Cheers Fox,
In the end that only freed up about 700k, though I did find out that my ftp client had made a massive vroot.log file, which OMV didn’t allow you to disable, so I’ve managed to turn it off via the conf file to free up ~70Mb. Still a bit tight, but more manageable
Hey !
It’s me, again.
I need help… 
I’ve restore my disk, OS WD V4 installed.
I tried to install clean debian Wheezy for test OMV.
Run the auto install, with the kernel and rootfs files of “CleanDebian64k” from @Fox_exe Google Drive.
MyCloud start, Green LED.
SSH is running, I can connect with the new login/password.
But nothing else… No web…
If someone know what i’ve to do … ?
Cheers,
CleanDebian64k - Only for dev’s and testing (Its Debian + 64kb patch from WD for increase samba’s speed.)
For OMV you need OMV or CleanJessie (w/o 64k). Jessie is “stable” now.
OK !
I’m sorry, i ignore that … i’m confuse.
So now, I haven’t choice, I’ve to recover MyCloud again in HDD external case for put files inside and redo all the procedure or I can send file il my cloud actually and run it over ?
Use Recovery (Boot from hdd method) for reinstall / change “firmware”
I don’t understand…
I’ve put Jessie CleanOS, but again ce same issue…
