Data volume not there

Hello

This is the problem I am facing…The shares i set up in My Cloud device is visible in the dashboard but when I try to connect it from my mac finder - its giving Mount failed error.

Doing some research, one of them suggested me to SSH and see if the data volume is there which I did and much to my disappointment, it was not there. The only solution given was to do a Full restore from the dashboard. But if I do that all my data will be gone (as per WD website).

Help please…

What generation mycloud is this?

Also if the shares are visible via the dashboard, the data volume is clearly mounted, so I am confused. How did you determine it was not?

@Neo33 - thanks for sharing the page but the phone lines are always busy and I couldnt speak to them.

@Wierd_w - I think mine is gen 2. When i SSH into the box and list out the directories, i could not see the data volume listed there. And WD recommendation is to do full restore from the dashboard but I will loose all my data :frowning:

Data volume gets mounted at /mnt/HD/HD_a2 on gen2.

do [mount] with no options. See if it lists /dev/sda2 being mounted.

then get the output of

dmesg |grep sda2

Perhaps we can find out WHY it is not mounted first?
