ReadyNAS NV+ Stuck at "Scheduled on" event after 4.1.10
Hello
I successfully upgraded my NV+ to 4.1.10 one week ago. I have the power timer set to shut down the NAS at night and boot it each morning.
On 4 mornings since the upgrade I have found the NAS stuck with very loud fan noises, no disk LEDs lit, and the power blinking blue, the text on the display read "scheduled on" (or something similar).
I have to remove the power cable, re-power it and press the on button to get the NAS to boot. Once boot did a FS check so took ages.
Any help would be gratefully received as I really don't want to leave the NAS on 24/7.
I have saved off the system logs if that would help anyone troubleshoot this.
Many thanks.

- koahnigAspirantThanks guys for feedback.
As being a SW engineer doing my own SW I certainly know that it might be a coincidence. However, it started shortly after upgrading. I have no experience with this forum, but I also expected to see more "noise" for a general problem with the release. On the other hand it would be interesting to know how many people are bothering to use scheduling.
Not thinking of the environment is helps in my case. At least the NAS stays happy so far.
There was everything alreight before upgrading. The only issues I had before were a disk reporting repeatably bad sectors. So I have replaced it. The other problem was when trying an add-on which killed the running installation. I ended up to do a factory reset. Luckily I was able to copy all stuff off the disk before.
I will follow your recommendation and reinstall. - jebrAspirantBad news - the first scheduled power-on after a successful scheduled power-off failed.
The unit was again stuck at "Schedule on" with the blue power light flashing and no activity or disk LEDs lit.
I don't know wether to downgrade to 4.1.8??
--JEBR - koahnigAspirant:shock: You have my sympathy. Even so, it will not help much.
I will switch back to 4.1.9 then. However, I am stuck with the backup. Suddenly one notices a disadvantage of large disks. - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee Retired4.1.9 has the ownership problem. I wouldn't recommend that firmware. You could try downgrading to 4.1.8 if you want.
- PapaBear1ApprenticeJebr and Koahnig - I do not note any mention of a current and complete backup of your units. Since both of you have experienced problems I would have thought that would be one of the first things you would do. With an current and complete backup you would then have the luxury of doing a factory default wiping the disks completely and reinstalling the firmware from scratch.

I was in the process of doing a backup. The downgrade to 4.1.9 did not help. After a couple of successful automatic boots in the morning I am back to square one. It failed this morning again. So, it is not simply a question of the version.
I am contemplating about doing a factory reset. The only advantage I see would be reset of any memory and settings not changed with new versions. Is this worth to do?
Are there some maintenance tools around for checking the HW? - B52hbuffAspirantI would like to report a similar issue. I am running 4.1.10 in an Infrant NV, which has been running for quite a while. In my application, my NV wakes up at midnight to be the target of a ReadyNAS Pro (6) backup. I see this error from the Pro, since it reports a communications error when the NV doesn't wake up.
When I inspect the NV, it is stuck on a flashing blue light.
Let me know if there is some way to help get information to the folks who can fix it.
