Can anyone comment on running DSM add-on packages like Plex on the My Cloud? Any add-on packages that don’t run on the My Cloud?
Also, can one update to the latest version of DSM from within the DSM UI?
thanks - worked it out in the end
is this package upgradable using the DSM upgrade menus, or will that break it. eg upgrade to dsm 6 RC?
cheers
Upgrade fro GUI won’t work - need special update package (With kernel for WD and some tweaks)
i’ve also done switching wd my cloud to DSM 5.2 based on Fox’s guild. it’s stable unless sudden higher cpu utilization 20~30% due to entry.cgi_SYNO.Core.System.Utilization[1].get. However , there’s one major issue , it’s a convenient function when plug a usb stick or external hd to USB3.0 and DSM will auto-mount it as a folder or neighborhood share , but it doens’t work right now after DSM based firmware.

Is there way to solve this issue ?
there’s always error log which prompt with prefix “BUG” when execute App on WDC, for example

anyway , it’s still working , but bad page seems very serious /alert message in my viewpoint
Perhaps the disk has to be called not “sdb”, but “usb” or somehow on another… (hda? usd? hmmm…)
In any way you can mount external disk manually:
mount /dev/sdb1 /volume1/somefolder
it’s quite wired so far…you may see i’ve create a USB directory under volume1
WDMyCloud> ls -al /volume1/ | grep USB
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 10 21:56 USB
WDMyCloud> mount /dev/sdb1 /volume1/USB/
mount: mounting /dev/sdb1 on /volume1/USB/ failed: No such device

it couldn’t be mounted successfully.
i checked with parted following…there’s actually /dev/sdb"1" it is.

Maybe should i reinstall the whole system to recover?
Nope, USB problems confirmed.
I will look what can i do…
Hello Fox~
I’ve found a manually way to solve , but not very smart (hopefully it will automatically mount on DSM system ) refer from this link [SOLVED]change Default mount options (VFAT / FAT / ISO) / Forum & Wiki discussion / Arch Linux Forums

i don’t know whether there’s a way to make a server buttons (ex : shutdown , restart , mount usb) on DSM web GUI to ease difficulty ssh?

this issue should be solved.
when i follow the instruction to parted new partition for DSM.
mkpart primary 4828M -2M <— it may cause partition without correct infomation,when chcking with fsck -t ext3 /dev/sda3 , it prompt the erorrs… linux parted tool has hidden issue…it has been discussion @ linux forum.
at first , i doesn’t mind the error message from fsck and just keep going and boot into the reinstall DSM message…
unless i do resize2fs /dev/sda3, i could success boot into DSM , i didn’t fully reinstall DSM again , so it’s a broken DSM image in my system.
when i execute every App (whatever transmission , snmp , photo…) , it always show up error with bad page…
After i reinstall DSM image (including DSM-kernel and DSM-rootfs) , no error message with BUG Prefix appears!!

Thanks God!
List of compatible MYCLOUD hardware with same SoC hardware?
Is all the basic functionality working? DLNA? etc?
Please make sure to keep posting the source for modified GPL code so Synology can’t get this taken down.
Yes, almost all functions works good.
All sources available on my G.Drive (Include diff patch for kernel and new ramdisk).
Thanks. What about sleeping? v4 of firmware is driving me crazy with the ridiculous wake ups and 3am firmware checks that are supposed to be disabled.
What about the list of hardware that has the MINDSPEED Comcerto C2000? I see there are Gen2 MyCloud devices now.

Nope. WDMC Gen2 have Marwell Armada 375 CPU (And newer kernel)
I find Comcerto CPU only in WDMC Gen1 and in Synology DS414j
hmn…it stil happens …when i execute Transmission , Photo , Fire folder…@ the same time
it occasionally occurs…

Ha… All my unsolved problems in this log 
unwind_tables - when i try use newer version of gcc for compile kernel
pfe_hif - Errors in network module (If compile kernel w/o netfilter)
IRQ - few errors from Comcerto part of kernel…
WD upgraded pfe sources and add network patches in latest kernel (GPL sources). Maybe its helps. I try it later.
We hope there will be new good news for this problem~~
due to memory pages error, it occasionally cause wd my cloud hangs without response(force to switch power)
there’s only one way to avoid is to run less app(rsync,transmission,photo) simultaneously.
Looks as if he lacks memory.
Check swap and memory sage (Run in SSH):
free or free -m
Hello Fox
My cloud hanged again yesterday…
Due to i want to find a way let my cloud auto mount the USB disk, i plug and unplug the USB stick on My Cloud several times before it hanged.
When i switch off/on my cloud …i forgot to plug usb disk back to my cloud.
Suddenly , something surprise to me is that there’s no pfe and unwind error in my log (dmesg -T)
It’s a possible due to USB module driver cause pfe and undwind error ?
here’s my log boot up to 18 hr . ( it still runs photo backup and transmission …etc)
