Drive will not mount, help!

Hello,

My contents status comes up as “Not Mounted”, and I have zero space on the drive, and can not access anything.

Has anyone seen this before ??

Can I connect it directly to a PC or put the drive in a USB case to delete data ??

Regards

Did you try a factory restore from the admin UI?

Yes did that, system only.

was the drive full before the not-mounted issue?

I can not be sure, but that is what I believe happened.

I have a security camera that sends videos to the drive at intervals, and I think it filled the drive.

When I tried to log-on to delete - no can do !!

are you comforable going in with SSH? If not you probably need to contact WD support.

if so start by running df -k , then post the results

I downloaded putty, entered the IP address of the WDMycloud as the connection.

Putty just tells me connection refused ?

Hi just wondering what I should try next in ssh ? I posted the results, not sure if my share files are still on the drive.

parted -l
or
fdisk -l

ls /dev | grep sd

mount -t ext4 /dev/sda4 /DataVolume
mount -t auto /dev/sda4 /DataVolume

Run this. Post here. Wait answer.

Just want to check first, will the fdisk not format data I have on the disk and want to restore ?

Please see below -

This is what the unit returns -

WDMyCloud:~# mount -t ext4 /dev/sda /DataVolume
mount: /dev/sda already mounted or /DataVolume busy
WDMyCloud:~# mount -t auto /dev/sda /DataVolume
mount: /dev/sda already mounted or /DataVolume busy

Interesting…

Try this:

ls /DataVolumeumount /DataVolumeumount /dev/sda4
mount -a

or just mount to another folder:

mkdir /mnt/hdd
mount -t ext4 /dev/sda4 /mnt/hdd

Angry !!

WDMyCloud:~# ls /DataVolume

WDMyCloud:~# unmount /DataVolume
-bash: unmount: command not found

-bash: unmount: command not found

Possibly sda4 is broken.

Use Undelete+ or another rescue software for restore your data.

Then - Go to web interface and chose “Factory restore” (With deleting user content. Full)
