Once you are on the sysrescue desktop launch gparted and observe what drives are assigned to your HDD and USB.From the sysrescue startup menu select “Directly start the graphical interface” option.Make sure that the HDD and 8gb usb is connected to PC before hand. (make sure that the file you copy is in the root of the usb which means there are no folders present) Now copy back the mybook.img from your pc to the newly formatted 8gb usb.Open the virgin disk image with 7zip and extract the mybook.img file available in its root to any location in your PC.Please be aware that this method will delete all your data from the target HDD.

I have been trying the de-bricking process described in this article and was not able to find any success until yesterday. Perform a factory restore (quick factory restore). ![]() Put back both the drives in MBLD and boot it up, it showed me the red light but the web interface was accessible after about 10 minutes. Replicate the step 5 with the other 6TB Drive. Infact, I also had to reboot the PC a couple of times to gain write access to the partition as I was getting an error that the partition was in use and could not be deleted. Perhaps it was to do with incompatible size of the 6TB drive. Note: I had to follow step 5 because for some reason I could not extend the partition with gParted. Pull out 1 of the 6TB Drives and use the PC with gParted to delete /sda4 (or the biggest partition) and re-create the partition again. Replace the other 2TB Drive with the other 6TB Drive Replace 1 of the original 2TB drives with 1 * 6TB Drive I updated the firmware to the latest version before I started, just a heads-up: WDLD.jpg 913×960 65.1 Mate, it was your guide that led to through. When the MBL reboots you should have 2TB showing in the dashboardĬlick the Kudos star to say thank you for helpful posts and be sure to come back and ‘Accept as Solution’ under options for the post that solved your issue.

If you run into issues with CacheVolume, nfs, shares and DataVolume not unmounting then debrick again but this time don’t do the quick factory restore. ![]() Looking forward to your support, thanking you in advance. Would it work if I took out one of the 6TB HDDs after the above procedure, and used gparted (GUI) to expand the capacity to full 6TB and then put the device back in the MBLD? Or would the process below, with some modifications, work in my case? Anyway, my system is working fine and so if I replace 1 of the 2TB HDD’s with a 6TB HDD, rebuild the array and then swap out the other 2TB HDD with another 6TB HDD, how would I be able to expand the storage space to utilize the full 6TB capacity? I have a WD Mybook Live DUO that came with 2 * 2TB WD Green HDD’s which I would like to replace with 2 * 6TB WD RED Drives.Īs far as I know, my MBLD works fine, although I haven’t used it yet despite owning it for a while as when I purchased it I was under the impression that swapping out to bigger HDD’s would be a piece of cake. With the post below, I was hoping that you might be able to set me in the right direction too. : Hi there mate, thanks for all your contribution and all your help. ![]()
