WD MyCloud DataVolume requires manual mount

Hello Guys,

I have a WD MyCloud NAS but it seems that the /DataVolume is not mounted automatically upon system boot. I have waited for some time to see if it gets mounted, but it doesn’t. I also tried adding the below script in the rc2.d so it can be executed upon system start, but it doesn’t seem to run.

I need to mount the DataVolume manually by running:

/etc/init.d/mountDataVolume.sh

WDMyCloud:/etc/rc2.d# /etc/init.d/mountDataVolume.sh 
mountDataVolume.sh: begin script: 
[....] >>>> mount data volume...run-parts: executing /etc/nas/drive-init.d/mindspeed-drive-init sda

I have also ran fsck and no errors were found.

Can anyone suggest how to mount the DataVolume partition automatically upon boot?

Seems I’m totally wrong on all counts. I’ve been over this and

someone at WD screwed up…

I have been working on something unrelated but it might have bearing on why your cloud is not automounting.

I think there is a problem with the /shares directory ownership or permissions. check it out and perhaps give everyone access to it.

My cloud has the problem of mounting a USB drive because it is unable to create the mount point under Shares. If I create the shares mount name manually and plug in the USB drive, the drive is mounted.

This goes along with the problem of the Public folder being read-only.

So check it out and post back on what you found and perhaps your solution to it.
