Hang on power timer shutdown: 6.4.0, RN10400, RN10200
I have two ARM RN devices, a 104 and a 102. While the 104 had periodically suffered the hang on power timer shutdown in the past, the 102 never had after about a year. Upon upgrading to 6.4.0 however...

Good morning,
I have same issue since the update to 6.4.0, too.
I have a ReadyNAS 104 and I'm using the power timer since the beginning.
No problem shutting it down up to 6.2.4 firmware level.
Yesterday I updated to the official 6.4.0 version and this morning my ReadyNAS was not reachable.
So I went down into the cellar and found it hanging on shutdown.
The display was still showing Shutting down... and the power button was blinking.
I had to remove wall power to stop this.
After turning on wall power again, I could boot the ReadyNAS by pressing the power button without problems.
I read the recovery article referenced above but it describes recovery to fix boot issues, which I believe is not the case here.
Its all about the shutdown which does not complete and leaves the ReadyNAS unresponsive.
I'm angry about myself. Seems to be I'm unable to learn that I never ever should update to a new firmware level if the system is running error free :-(
I hate myself for doing the update yesterday - grrrrr
I hope Netgear will fix this soon.
Regards... Holger
