Hi
I was installing a torrent client - Transmission, and the web GUI was poor so i upgraded the GUI too, unfortunately, it didnt quite work, so i deleted the files… unfortunately, that also deleted the WD UI, and now i cant connect to it at all.
I've stripped it down and i am currently recovering my files off the HDD.
how do I get it back into operation?
I'm not to bothered about all the software, as long as I can use it as a NAS and Media Server and Torrent client.
Cheers

Hi,
I've got a mybookworld 2x500GB device that had a failed drive. I bought a new WD 1TB drive, with the same amperage and voltage specs and replaced it.
The first time, I used the web interface to format the drive but the syncing process did not complete withing 4 days.
Then I removed the new drive, zeroed it and connected it again. This time I tried to repair the RAID myself. I formated the new drive with the same partitions as the ones in the original (not the faulty) drive. Then I started adding the new partitions to the md devices. Everything worked out fine and without errors for the first three partitions. I left the last one for later because it is the larger one and it would take some time.
Then, I shut the device down and when I power it on there is no LED indication. I can hear the disks spin up but the device does not appear to be working.
Any ideas on what the problem might be?
Thank you,
Christos

Any idea?
Hi all,
is possible to install transmission on the last firmware? how?
thank you
I need that the MyBook Live go in standby mode when the network in disconnected.
Now it go on error, and the led start to blink white.
Thank you.
From you guy's experience, how capable is the processor in the MBL?
I'm mostly curious about how many bittorrents I could have running natively on it compromising its capability to play videos over the network through DLNA or WD 2go.
Hello all,
I have the white 1TB single disk MBWE. I am preparing to Ebay it and started investigating ways to secure erase it. At first I thought about ssh and zero-ing out the /dev/md2 device where the shares are with dd. I would do the factory restore after that anyway (hope the process won't break the factory restore option).
On few websites/forms it seems to say that the factory restore does delete all data, but I'm not 100% sure what they mean by that. People also say the Delete button deletes files which we know is not true, it only deletes the reference in the table.
So, I would prefer using the factory restore option directly as soon as that really deletes all the data so that even by scanning the disk you can't get the data easily. I don't think the buyer would through that but I want to cover my bases at least against basic data recovery programs.
So, is the factory restore really enough? Since it run mdadm array I guess it could be, because this is not the same as deleting a partition which you can later scan and recover. Destroying and recreating mdadm array usually destroys the data.
I would appreciate some opinions and have in mind that we are talking about secure erase, not just not seeing the files but beeing able to scan and recover them. Thanks in advance.
When I launch the app, I get a Mybooklive icon to select.
After selecting the mybooklive I can see all my public shares.
If I click on one I see the next level in the folder structure but after
this when I click on a folder the Ipad gives the busy circle and eventually
I get the message
"Device Offline".
If I the come out of the app and go back in I get the "Device offline "
message when I click on the Mybooklive icon.
I can get access to the Mybooklive from my android phone both within my own
wifi network and using 3G.
I have tried all of the suggested solutions on the WD Community pages, and have had numerous discussions with WD support.
Nothing they have suggested has solved the problem.
I know that port forwarding on the Mybooklive is working properly as the
android phone, router and mybooklive all talk to each other.
Has anyone got an answer to this issue.
Hello there.
Has anybody successfully loaded BubbleUPnP Server onto their My Book Live.
I am struggling to find a step by step way of doing this.
So far I have loaded Java onto My Book LIve.
Now it is sounding like I have to unzip a file and load the application.
Some help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
The recommended way of getting prep_whitelight;
wget -O prep_whitelight http:_/_/wd_mirmana_com/prep_whitelight sh prep_whitelight (I malformed the adress above to allow me to post this message, newbies cannot post links)
No longer seems to work: instead of downloading a shell script it directs you to a login page.
What am I doing wrong? Can I get the scrip from somewhere else.
Thanks in advance,
Remco

hey guys anyone know of any power manangement apps i could install on a mybook sharespace to shutdown/startup at specified times?
Hello everyone, this is my first post.
Thanks to t-317579 post tutorial found in the forum here, months ago i've been able to upgrade a 1Tb MyBook Live to 2Tb. The 2Tb disk wasn't exactly brand new, so it started to give a SMART alarm.
I've got a 3Tb HD this time, and wanted to upgrade it again.
I followed the same tutorial but this time it didn't work: the MyBook remains with the yellow light loading the Operating System but doesn't start.
I guess its hardware does not support HD's larger than 2Tb.
Does anyone know something about that?
For now, my last try was to clone the 2Tb HD on the 3Tb using "Clonezilla" distro but wasting 1Tb of space.
It's working now.
One last thing to try would be enlarge the Data Partition to use the unallocated space, do You think it would work?
I have a MBL 3TB. I tried installing transmission using apt-get. During installation it replaced the ssh server, installed apache, etc. All this lead to the following:
now the system doesn't boot porperly, the led remains whitish, won't reach green. Can't ssh into it anymore and can't access the web UI either.
Here is how far I got trying to fix it:
I disassambled it, took it out of the case and connected the hard disk to my laptop (runing Ubuntu 11.10) via a SATA->USB converter.
Here comes the problem. sudo blkid doesn't see the device at all. sudo fdisk /dev/sdb does see it. It says
WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
I can print the partition table from fdisk though, here it is:
Disk /dev/sdb: 801.6 GB, 801569726464 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 97451 cylinders, total 1565565872 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 4294967295 2147483647+ ee GPT
The fact that it can see one partition only, and it's 801GB is alarming.
Then I tried the script from
debricking-script-that-can-keep-data
It warned me that "script could not find a matching sd unit connected to system."
Then I ran the script with the /dev/sdb argument:
sudo debricker.sh /dev/sdb Then it warned that "Error: Invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/sdb
is this REALLY the disk you want?"
I said no, and that's where I stopped. So far I did not write anything on the HD since I took it out of the cover and connected it to the laptop, because of these bad signs.
How should I proceed?
I am in deep …. if I can't get it to work, I got it from work and at one point may need to return it.
Advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
Guys,
Does anyone have a method to recover a sharespace after all drives have been formatted? basically screwed up the sharespace so thought i would get back to stock by formatting a drive put in slot 1 wait for the firmware to copy to the drive…well no luck tried using the mybook rescue for a blue ring and white light from highlevelbits with no luck…
Anyone have system images or anyway to restore unit?
I've two questions: first, is this the most updated pyLoad method for a My Book Live forum/t-540705/pyload-works-new-method%20to%20install%20pyLoad or there are newer?
Second, in the guide, it's all working but I don't know how to save code on part 11; I mean, I type vi /etc/init.d/pyload and hit enter; then I paste the code. Here I don't know how to save to type then chmod +x /etc/init.d/pyload.
I use Terminal on OS X 10.8; may someone help me?
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks to this forum I managed quite some time ago to buy a MBWE2 of 2x1TB and upgrade it to 2x2TB without too much hassle.
Now, I am about to get my hands on a MBLD of 2x4TB and started wondering how to best move the data.
1 - I estimate that doing it via Ethernet (rsync) will take no less than 2 days: Pro, can access things while it replicates; Con, slow.
2 - I could find a desktop and copy from an old 2TB drive to a new 4TB drive over SATA and then let the raid resynch in the MBLD: Pro, 4hours in the desktop; Con, rebuild array in the MBLD.
3 - Crazy idea: remove one of the new 4TB rives from the MBLD and replace it with one of the old 2TB MBWE2 drives. Does anyone know if this would boot properly or would I need to somehow neuter the 2TB boot partitions?
Thanks for any ideas,
Andre
Hi,
(sorry for my bad english, i'm a french teenager)
I taken the 1To HDD of my MBWE to use it in a PC. I don't have another disk to put in the MyBook so I would like to install WD's OS on a Flash drive and run the mybook on it in order to do things with the LEDs (and Transmission).
I have no idea about how can I do it… can you help me ?
Thank you in advance ;)
