To everyone wondering about installing Debian (OMV) on MCH.
I tried it and it works .

@ahmedespo to reinstall a clean version on Debian:

  1. Turn off your MCH device and remove the power cord.
  2. Plug the USB containing the extracted files from wd-mycloud-home-debian.7z (link in the first post) in the MCH port.
  3. While holding the Reset button, plug in the power cord. (Don’t release the reset button, yet)
  4. The MCH light indicator will rapidly flash and than it will dim to a steady light. (This might take around 20 seconds maybe)
  5. Now you can release the reset button.

The process might take 3 to 5 minutes. The device will reboot after installation.
Don’t remove the USB until your device is discoverable on the network under “wdnas”.
