My WD My Cloud can't mount the internal disk

Hi, all

I just got my WD My Cloud 4TB. Got Transmission to work, then proceeded to set up flexget and some other scripts. Everything worked fine right to the point when I tried rebooting. WebUI started saying that the device can’t mount the HDD and all I have is 1,3 gigs of space (internal flash, I guess).

I tried restoring my WD a couple of times, doing quick and full restores. Nothing worked. Then I realised that there is no /dev/sda4 in /etc/fstab — that’s the main partition. This is what I’ve added.

/dev/sda4 /DataVolume ext4 rw,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

Rebooted my device. Now my disk is mounted in /DataVolume, and all files there were intact, untouched by my full restores.

However, MyCloud still doesn’t recognize the disk from the WebUI and it’s inaccessible through AFP/Samba shares. I’m currently running a full e2fsck on it, but right now I have no idea how to make WD software (not the OS) recognize the disk.

Any suggestions?

There’s lots of other mounts you’re missing, too.

Hi, TonyPh12345

Is that from WD MyCloud? Could you please post your /etc/fstab? I’d try using it in my device.

/etc/fstab isn’t used for anything other than cgroup and /dev/md1.

The various boot scripts in /etc/init.d mount the majority of the volumes.
