Hello,
Without any clue to solve my problem I finaly manage to do a factory reset from the boot menu.
I follow the informations from http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22892 and everything seems fine.
I will think twice before applying the next firmware upgrade, it's a lot of work to get the device working normally :-(

I guess you can simply live with the problem until you get a fix.
Does 6.4.1 beta help?

yes, of course it is no serious problem. Despite this "little" bug cost me several hours of troubleshooting (disk failure? wrong configuration? etc.)
And my RN102 was configured to shut down at night for various reasons (e.g. blackouts in our area are quite often), so I have to change this to 24/7 and wait.
BTW I dont think it is a good idea to use a beta, because there is no hint in the changelog, that it will fix our problem? But maybe I have overseen this.

I don't agree, it's a serious problem.
I often use datas of my NAS when I am away from my home.
In this use case, I wake up the nas with wakeonlan and I turn it of at the end of the session.
With this problem, there is no way to wake it up as it don't shutdown totally.
It's a feature of the NAS, we are free to use it but it has to be fully fonctional.
I don't think the beta and the future release will solve the problem.
The update to 6.4.0 didn't take in count a partiular script or configuration of my device. With no understanding of the problem I'm curious to know how they will fix it.
By the way, the biggest problem of this nas is the lack of a console port to debug it when they are such problems.
