FW 6.4.1 Problems: Power Timer not working
Firstly, you need to know that I'm using a RN102, obviously with FW 6.4.1 loaded. Mostly I'm pleased with the changes made so far, but there are two problems which do need to be solved: As so many ...
The unit won't scheduled power off while a backup job is in progress. It should power off once the backup completes if when the backup completes the NAS isn't meant to be back on by then.
Thank you for your reply, but this doesn't appear to happen. If backups or snapshots are scheduled, power off does not occur. The new manual clearly suggests that Power Timer off command should take precedence, but each time this is suspended (even though backups or snapshots are not in progress at the time) and does not happen when the events are completed.
This appears to me to be a firmware fault, and was not evident in versions before 6.4.

Please send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig).
The auto poweroff is getting deferred because one of your backup jobs is reported as being in progress at the time of the scheduled shutdown.
Thank you for your help, but on the last occasion, I had suspended all my backup jobs, leaving only snapshots running overnight, which I cannot reschedule, so I do not understand how this can have happened. All the backups were showing 'Comleted' I'm fairly sure. Which backup job was the culprit?
At present my backups remain suspended, and I'm shutting down manually each evening, before my granddaughter goes to bed. It would be good if we could solve this.
