pjo65 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 With WD's latest firmware release (4.x) btsync arm version won't run anymore. To my understanding it needs to be rebuilt for their Debian 64k page size (previously it was 4k page size) firmware. Can BitTorrent help out? Or is source available?

RomanZ Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 @pjo65 I don't think that the issue is in the page size - it should be transparent for the process. However, I presume that there might be some other changes in OS which prevent sync from running. Could you please describe how exactly Sync is not running? Some error message, crash or something else? Did you try to run it with --nodaemon switch to see the app output to console? Can you run it with strace to see which system calls were called before program crashed \ terminated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjo65 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 System simply returns "Killed" (ref.: http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud/Firmware-04-00-00-607-running-btsync-or-unison-instantly/m-p/767995/highlight/true#M18314, 4th paragraph first post). It's thus likely per design by WD but there´s a reference to rebuilding Debian packages to resolve it (ref.:http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud/New-Release-WD-My-Cloud-Firmware-Release-4-00-00-607-7-9-14/td-p/761150 under Important Note:). Running btsync and other 3rd party stuff has thus worked well until the latest fw upgrade.Myself I have rolled back to earlier fw and can not make the tests just now.

mogarick Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hi,I've just bought a WDMyCloud and got same problem when trying to start BTSync. I'm having the same result when trying to run the commands indicated:ulimit -c unlimited./btsync --nodaemon I only get the Killed message and there's no dump file present in directory! Please help.

pjo65 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Myself I have downgraded to latest fw 3. You'll find the how-to details in WD forum.WD is obviously killing anything user installs on fw 4 unless it´s rebuild using their environment.FW4 is not customization-friendly and FW 3 is preferred if you like to add/autorun custom features.

RomanZ Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hi all, We are working on it. I'll post official answer a bit later here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hi all, For now BT is not going to support this particular NAS model. Please use Sync with GlibC 2.3 as solution. It lacks only one function comparing to other builds - it does not subscribe for immediate directory change events, so files changed are detected only during full folder rescan.

mogarick Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hi, Thank you for your answer. Do you mean the WD MyCloud GlibC build is the one that lacks the function you describe in your post? Or the GlibC 2.3? Anyway does this mean that if we want to install btsync on a WDMyCloud we need to stick with firmware version prior to 4.x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arty2 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Does this mean that an ARM GlibC 2.3 build would work?Could you guys make one for us locked in a Windows world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 @mogarick, @Arty2 I apologize for wrong information. The Glibc 2.3 version won't help here. The only way to run Sync would to indeed to stick with older WD firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogarick Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thank you @RomanZ, Is there any plan for future support of this WD NAS Drive?The new WD FW update solves a lot of other problems such as read and write performance and it's sad that we BTSync users can't update because of the lacking function you mentioned regarding GlibC that is needed for BTSync to work properly. I'm in love with BTSync but I also need to use it with this drive to have my private cloud working for devices photo backups and laptop folder's synchronization. I hope you can give us a real solution. Thank you in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 @mogarickWe want to support WD new firmware in future, but I cannot claim any plans / ETAs due to project status (beta). Please stay tuned for the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimazigel Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Yeah, the issue is that they build new linux kernel with 4k page size instead 64k before or other way roundThere are lots of discussions here http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud/New-FW-4-00-00-upgrade-results/td-p/761154/highlight/true/page/3 So btsync needs to be recompiled with that new non-standard kernel. but because btsync is closed-source software community can't do this by themselves. I just bought my wd own cloud and it is already have firmware version 4 so I'm trying to downgrade at the momentunfortunately downgrade hasn't worked for me.will have to restore rootfs with firmware version 4one more updatecloud restored version 4 by itself after failed boot from the second RAID partition so looking forward to seeing recompiled version for this non-standard kernel WD released. Seems like they put sticks into wheels on purpose by releasing version 4 with non-standard kernel@mogarickWe want to support WD new firmware in future, but I cannot claim any plans / ETAs due to project status (beta). Please stay tuned for the news.Hi RomanPlease have a look at this source code package from WD http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=904&sid=233〈=enyou can find out linux arm compilers inside, both for firmware version 3 and version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogarick Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 @RomanZ, I'll sure be tuned on the issue because I love BTSync and I want it to be compatible again with my WDMyCloud. Thank you for your attention. @dimazigelI'm sorry you couldn't downgrade. Did you follow al instructions including the one regarding to edit /etc/version file?

dimazigel Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 There is no problem with the version file as I hacked installation shell script as suggested in the thread I mentioned in my message. I just commented out version check. I'm just getting lots of errors during running an installation script. I wouldn't bother using btsync at all if WD supported Linux as I use Linux on all my laptops. Maybe I'll try to setup rsync instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogarick Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hi @RomanZ I've just visited the WD forum and noticed there's a new firmware version released on September 24 (version 4.00.01-623). Have BTSync Staff has the opportunity to check it out to see if there are something that can make BTSync run again without trouble? Thank you in advance for your attention.

RomanZ Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 @hawkman Starting from 1.4.82 Sync binds WebUI socket to loopback interface for security reasons. Try running: ./btsync --nodaemon --webui.listen 0.0.0.0:8888 It will force WebUI to listen on all available network interfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
