ReadyNAS 104 upgraded to OS 6.4.0 shutdown hang
Following upgrade to this release I am unable to shutdown. System hangs with "Shutting dow. Goodbye." - I left it in this state overnight. Power must be removed to complete shutdown.
Can confirm beta 3 fixes the no shoutown with custom MTU issue.
My RedyNAS 10400 has the same problen sind I upgreded to 6.4.0. However so far shutdown via admin webpage or powwer button worked. Schedueld shutdown does not power down the ReadyNAS. There is no hint about it in the logfile. I log all loglevels for all categories. There is the normal system shutdown entry with a green dot. The next log entry is the normal system entry that backgrounf services started with a green dot. Logging into the NAS I unfortunately I could not find a readable logfile equivlent to syslog. We are waiting for for a hint or better a solution to this problem by netgear
Addendum to my last entry.
I did a few test with shutdown (booting up and then shutting down without any action on the NAS inbetween).
I got the following results:
- shutdown via power button: system shuts down and powers off like it shoud
- shutdown via admin webpage: system shuts down and powers off
- shutdown via ssh login as admin: (shutdown -h -P)
system shuts down and powerd off
if the option -P is not given the systems shuts down but does not power off
(power button is on but not blinking)
I did not test scheduled shutdown again since it never worked since uppdate to 6.4.0.
(The system was probably down, power button blinking, god bye message an disply and nor reacting to anything except power disconnect)
Hi.
My father in law and myself have upgraded to firmware 6.4.0 and we both have the same issue that I cannot shutdown the 102 Readynas applicance via the power button by pressing twice or scheduled shutdown.
It use to work fine for firmware V6.2.5. I saw in the forums that people had problems with this firmware in the beta versions. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue with the released version? Is there a fix or should I downgrade firmware to the previous version? Is there a way to do that?

I was asked if I had a shedule power down as well as spin down option in power setting set.
They were both on, not sure if I actually had spin down turned on before firmware upgrade or not or whether firmware turned it on. Anyway I turned off the spin down option, but it did not make any difference to the scheduled shutdown. The system still just flashes the power button light and stays that way, the only way to reset the readynas is to remove power.
I think netgear needs to make a way to roll back firmware versions when this sort of issue happens so it stops impacting people while a fix can be found.
Because 6.2.4 firmware worked fine. I wont be upgrading firmware next time for at least 3 months until I know it is ok and stable.
