Re: [SOLVED] [Old] WD Green Power drives may kill themselves

Just received a b3.
I had to apply the patch manually.
After that a powerdown and restart was necessary to stop the LCC to increase.
The LCC is now on 177 (the tool did not reset it).

My b2 (2008) has a LCC of 50, but that was after a manual patch (see my previous post of 2009-03-21 15:58 http ...

Re: Users can reach other users home folders

This is an 'old' problem, see my post below
http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?t=1280

I asked excito to change this.
Now I manually change some files after every update.
Since the updates are very small this is not a big job but it is very inconvenient.

Re: Reinstalling mysql - how?

Just executed the following command:

Code: Select all

dpkg-reconfigure bubba-album
Everything works fine (creating albums, adding images, adding users, viewing albums).

Re: Reinstalling mysql - how?

I've got the same problem.
I did not upgrade via the web-gui, but used

apt-get update
apg-get dist-upgrade


I also did not know how to answer the questions about the passwords. So choose to ignore the install errors and continue.

Pressing 'Photo-Album' results in a blank page with the text ...

Today I took out my harddisk out of the Bubba and attached it to a PC.
Started the PC in DOS mode and flashed my harddisk with the WD firmware update (RE2IdleModeUpd.zip). After that I used the spinup tool of WD (wdspinup.zip) and set the drive to "super low current spinup mode".
After that I put ...

I had the same problem.
I think I fixed it by removing the existing link of /etc/localtime .

Mine is now linked to
ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Feb 23 10:36 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam


Amsterdam is chosen because I live in The Netherlands.

Hello Johannes, Robv

I have exactly the same disk as RobV.
The proposed script does not work for me either.
I managed to stop the Load Cycle Count increase with the script below.
Just run it as 'normal' user (su is not needed).


#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ]; do
ls -l $HOME/. > $HOME/wd.prevent.unload ...

By default user "admin" is a member of group "admin".
To add user "admin" also in group "users" you can use the following command:
usermod -G users admin
The -G must be the capital letter G: -g means something else.
This command can be repeated for more groups for the same user,
or a list of ...

To solve the problem, I changed a few files of the web interface on the system.

You have to make the script (you called Alive) executable by the following command:

Code: Select all

chmod 755 Alive
After that you can start it by typing:

Code: Select all

nohup Alive &

or execute the following command:

Code: Select all

nohup /bin/sh Alive &
If everything is correct, you still get an empty nohup.out

Running in bash is correct,
but I think you have to give the following command (where SCRIPT must be replaced by the name you gave to the script):

Code: Select all

nohup SCRIPT &
This makes sure the script is not attached to the terminal so it does not receive any signals which cause it to terminate.

I upgraded to version 1.1.2 today (7-feb-2009).

Unfortunately it still isn't fixed: user guest can still access the files as if it was a member of group "users".

In the previous version I made some small changes in the file backend.pl.

Kees, can you check your model number?

Mine is a WDC WD1000FYPS-01ZKB0 (output of smartctl: grep "Device Model")
I just found some extra info of WDC. The models ending with B1 have the
updated firmware which should fix this problem.

See info of WDC below:
