I can see the last time it turned on was Jan 19, and it looks like you did some operations in the GUI. Do you have any idea those were? Any idea how to reproduce this? I tried all sorts of things, but I haven't been able to make it happen.

I also switched off the AFP that week because with the new operating system it was creating problems for the SMB connections. Nothing else was done.
