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.

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

Stuck again...logs sent.
Same symptoms as always. :(
"do_exit+8c4" and blinking power button. Total freeze.
Thanks

Not that I knew exactly what I am talking about, but what makes me wonder is why if I execute shout down or reboot from admin panel – all is working fine, if I schedule shut down - it is freezes on some of the process? Perhaps the command in “the schedule” is not elevated enough or the script is missing “killall” or something like that before shutting down. That is why RN tells me to exit something.
Just a thought.
Thanks

It does want to do a clean shutdown, so killing running processes is not the best.
Hopefully the logs will provide more clues on what is blocking the process.

Hi Jaroslaw, thanks for the logs. We have reproduced this.
