WD My Cloud

The WD My Cloud series run a Debian based OS. As with most embedded devices, the base OS is a compressed readonly squashfs image on the internal flash memory. During boot, user data and extensions are loaded from the Main Volume on the hard drives.

This means the user can make modifications on the in-memory representation of the OS, but those changes are lost on reboot so the device starts in a clean state. There are several ways to make persistent changes however.
