Hello, I hope you are all well today.
My WDMyCloud is dying, I have had it for five or six years. I am trying to copy all files from a share to an external hard drive via SSH. Needless to say, it wont maintain a connection to my PC for very long over Ethernet and the connection drops during the file copy. Doing it through windows just wont work anymore.
Firmware = v04.05.00-342
I have used the following commands:
df -h -x squashfs
Which returned
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 1.9G 637M 1.2G 35% /

/dev/sdb2 3.7T 1.1T 2.7T 28% /nfs/Storage
When I try to copy share2 to storage via this command:
cp -nR /dev/sda4/nfs/Share2/* /dev/sdb2/nfs/storage/mydir/ (where mydir is a directory I have placed on the storage drive)
or
cp -nR /dev/sda4/nfs/Share2/* /dev/sdb2/nfs/storage/
it returns:
cp: accessing `/dev/sdb2/nfs/storage/mydir/: Not a directory
Please help me to provide the correct syntax to the WDMyCloud through the linux cp command so I can properly retrieve my files.
P.S. I have experience with linux, I’m a retired IT worker and unfortunately I am quite rusty at this point,
Thank you.
