![]() ![]() In my case, the UUID was as follows UUID="9643bd00-f117-4074-a252-7ea30a5174e2" yours will certainly be different, so in my fstab i added the following lines near the end config mount N for new partition, accept the (3) for partition number, use the number ( 2097152) for alignment with 4K sector advanced format nearest to the 1GB mark mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3 Which do you want to use? (Using theĬhose 1 to maintain the 2 partitions we have, Now hit the command (w) to write and confirm, then quit, gdisk has just switched your disk to GPT from MBR, now run gdisk again the same way (gdisk -i /dev/sda) Opkg install gdisk blkid openssh-sftp-serverĪs soon as gdisk opens, you may be presented with the following message, if so Found valid MBR and corrupt GPT. Once it is in the enclosure, you can not just connect it to your router as it in itself has this port defined as 192.168.1.1 and is serving dhcp ! Step 8: Create the data partitionĪt this stage, your device will boot, but you will need to create/expand the data partition, the partition that should not be overwritten when you upgrade the firmware for example. Nothing to say here, this is the reverse of step 2 Write the firmware to the disk, overwriting it, and effectively loosing any data you did not backup in step 1 Step 6: Put the drive back in the enclosure Go to the drive’s page on the openwrt website ( Here), and download it to your Linux (Or windows) PC Step 5: Write the firmware to the disk.ĭecompress the file, then copy it to the drive with a command similar to the command below, but make 100% sure to replace sdx with your own drive designation dd if=/root/wdsata.img of=/dev/sdx bs=64k Step 3: Mount the disk on a linux PC (Windows and MAC should work)Īnd mount it to a linux PC (Windows might work with software such as etcher, but i have no guarantees). I have included photos to help you do that, it is not rocket science. this has to be done before taking the drive apart as the unconventional 64 kB block size of the disk will be nothing but trouble if you want to extract the data while mounting the disk to a linux PC for example. Move any data you may have on the drive to a temporary location outside the NAS drive. Step 1: Move any existing data BEFORE TAKING APART. Before you startġ- Only the first few paragraphs of this tutorial (STEPS 1 THROUGH 6) are the instructions you need, the remaining is just for extra reference and in short you don’t need to read it to have your device running, but I do recommend YOU SKIM THE WHOLE THING BEFORE YOU START.Ģ- This procedure requires you to take the disk out and install it on a PC to switch the firmware, then put it backģ- The upgrade will delete all your data, You will need to move your data that is already on your WD NAS drive somewhere else while the upgrade is ready. The WD My Book Live is a NAS device based on Debian Linux, Since Debian stopped supporting this processor (APM82181), the device has received no updates and will probably never, so the next best thing to do in my opinion is to install openWRT. ![]()
