After my last attempt to create a safepoint just hung…
I needed to get a backup so I plugged MyBook into a PC and formatted it as exFAT. Powered down the MyCloud and plugged them both into a Mac.
Launched terminal and typed 'rsync -av /volumes/MyCloud /volumes/MyBook BAM!!, after a brief delay of building file list it started flying through my files. But i noticed something odd…
There is a hidden folder and files '.wdmc/transcoded_files/…" for every item on my drive. I have turned off media serving, and shut off iTunes support so all of those things should be gone. They all appear to be .jpg files so I assume they are thumbnails for twonky or DLNA. For some of my files there are multiples of these hidden files created if I modified the name. So these files just keep getting created and never deleted?
