fvdw-sl on WD My Cloud

[matt_max]

After many hours of hard work :hail @fvdw finally did it - he created his famous fvdw-sl firmware for WD MyCloud v1 :rock :applause
Output from console.

[fvdw]

:punk
Yeah finally we could make it work, thanks to matt_max for his help and time to figure out how this box boots and doing the many trials :thumbup .

Well the firmware runs but looking to the serial console output there are still some adaptations required.
Would it be possible to post the boot.log file from sda1.

Ps be aware that if you connect via serial or telnet started from /dev/md0 that you are not inside the chrooted linux system. You must connect via ssh to access the chrooted file system.

[fvdw]

Furthermore, try some features to see what working and what is not

[fvdw]

..you cannot upgrade to 18-2 via internet because 18-2 package needs a patch first to support wd mycloud gen1

[matt_max]

That is the boot.log.
Indeed some features do not work:

1. I cannot fully turn the nas off - even if I run poweroff

1. I do not see data partition - only RD1-0

1. LED doesn't work - I mean it is alway white

[fvdw]

Mmm...strange this raid array.
This looks like sda8 is included in the array
Can you post

Code: Select all

gdisk -l /dev/sda


And

Code: Select all

mdadm --detail /dev/md0

[fvdw]

And

Code: Select all

cat /proc/partitions

All comnands from within chrooted file system (so not using serial console but ssh client)

[fvdw]

I also have a question do you still use the config-new.img on partition 7 ?
This config-new sets if I remember wel to load kernel from p6

[matt_max]

That is right - I've put config-new.img on partition 7.

Ok thank you that all as expected.
Then the issue must be in our script to mount volumes. I need to talk with Jocko.
I will be back later this week as probably some more scripts needs to be adapted
