[Tfug] Western DIgital MyCloud

[JD Rogers]

Anyone else played with these? I just bought a 4TB MyCloud because I wanted
cheap NAS with low power consumption. I confess, in an uncharacteristic
impulse buy, I didn't really 'read up' very thoroughly before ordering. So
when I started getting annoyed with the web interface after 30s, I was
pleased to find I could ssh to it (as root) and use rsync.

Then I started poking around and was surprised when I found a
/etc/apt/sources.list that points to debian wheezy. An ARM processor
running debian out of the box. Sweet. When you enable ssh, you have to
acknowledge that "modifying" the system voids the warranty, but I figure it
is worth it.

Has anyone here done anything cool with one of these? I was thinking of
trying to get dmcrypt/luks working, or maybe just encfs and some cron
tweaks.
