Chris, If you have registered yourself at myCloud homepage, and the myCloud package is active in your NAS then you should be able to add manually your nas with MAC address (usually this is the first goup of the bottom labels) and the serial number (it starts with "S")

I was not succeded. Volume is down. :-(

Anjin, I have measured ~20MB/sec speed through the USB3. The port is surely not SS USB3 (5Gbits) :-) only the extra power (over 500mA) is there in my opinion. But unfortunately this info will not help you to have faster copy speed.

Hi, I do not know what exactly you would like to copy, but you can ssh / ftp to the other NAS for sure from mc, and then you can do the copy. If you would like to automate some backup in cron this is not a solution, or you should write some script for access start copy - this is much far from my basic knowledge.

Thank you! Right now I am doing the copy of the important backup data. It will take some time. but afterwards I will do the reboot. "I will be back" ; at least with the results!

Ok, thank you for the help. Actually I do not know; as far as I remember on the screen was "512 bytes written" or something. Opinion about executing "partprobe" or "kpartx"? Or keep system live till I will be able to backup to an ext. drive, and only after do a trial?

Dear Mijzelf, Just reading through fdisk; shall I set sda1 to bootable? I am a beginner, so sorry for asking so many times...

After executing "w"; I have received the following; I still do not know if the id 83 / linux partition is OK or not... Is there a way to check it? What will happen if I do partprobe kpartx as mentioned below? The partition table has been altered!Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. WARNING: Re-reading the partition…

I have googled, and switched on "dos compatibility flag" with issue "c". Many thanks!!! Shall I do anything else?

Mijzelf, Sorry to asking many questions. The end sector shall be 1028160 + 3905995905 = 3907029167 Am I right?

Mijzelf, One more question. I am able to create the sda2, the id is 83 - "linux" is it OK?

Mijzelf, Thank you for the given instruction. But I was unable to create 1st partition, as the possible value range is 2048 - 3907029167. I have stopped / quit from fdisk.

Mijzelf, As far as I have checked; fdisk /dev/sda (am I need sudo?) select "n" as new partition select "p" as primary (? - it will "name" it as sda1?) enter "63" enter "1028097" repeat with sda2 data n, p, 1028160, 3905995905. How to connect it to md0? (Sorry for my poor linux knowledge) Thank you for your patience, and…

I have just checked one more thing; /dev/md0 is as well existing in fdisk. fdisk -lDisk /dev/sda: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders, total 3907029168 sectorsUnits = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytesSector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytesI/O size (minimum/optimal): 512…

Mijzelf, Thank you for the starting step; Now I know the start/size for both partition. cat /sys/block/sda/sda1/start63cat /sys/block/sda/sda1/size1028097 cat /sys/block/sda/sda2/start1028160cat /sys/block/sda/sda2/size3905995905 Can ou help me with fdisk as well? I am afraid as the NAS sees the volume (sda2) as JBOD [as…
