ReadyNAS 204 will not shutdown on schedule

Sorry to start similar subject to one about 104 but:

ReadsyNAS 204 firmware 6.4.2

4 x 3TB

Unit will not shutdown on scheduled times.

I have to pull the plug and restart is possible only this way.

Display says: do_exit+8c4

All staretd to happen with last firmware upgrade I believe.

Sorry but nothing in logs and during that time when unit is stuck, I cannot access it remotely.

Will be glad for your assistance.

    "Perhaps try a different bonding mode?"

    Hello which one would you suggest, please?

     


    First, Bonding only improves speeds when you have multiple users accessing the NAS simultaneously.  Even then, it doesn't always help, especially if you only have a couple of users. So my first suggestion is to turn bonding off altogether, and see if (a) the packet loss disappears and (b) you perceive any performance droppoff.  

     

    The modes that make sense with your router are Adaptive Load Balancing and Transmit Load Balancing.  Ignore the other choices.  ALB operates in both directions (reading and writing), TLB only applies to reading.

    I can see a lot of dropped packets. Can you try disabling bonding and disconnecting one of the ethernet cables and see if you still run into this problem?

        Can you try disabling disk spin-down and see if this helps?
