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....

"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?

ReadyNAS 204 failed the test, found it stuck again on "do_exit+8c4".
Logs sent.
Thanks

Can you try disabling disk spin-down and see if this helps?
- JaroslawFeb 24, 2016Guide
I started scrub after todays "freeze" - hope not messing up. As soon as it finishes I will disable sleep mode for the disks.
Mind you, bounding and spindown were one othe main factors to get RN....
Never the less I will do it.

Just trying to isolate what is causing the problem where it won't shutdown on schedule.
