Diskstation Won’t Shutdown Over SSH

July 3rd, 2008

I’ve also discovered that my Diskstation no longer shuts down or reboots when the commands are issues over an SSH connection. There’s a thread on the Synology forum describing the same problem, it seems to be the 0637 firmware that’s causing this.

The Diskstation stays running but refuses all connection via http, SSH, cifs or any other method. The only way to fix is to turn it off using the button on the front panel.

I’ll download and install the 0640 firmware tonight and see if it fixes the issue.

Update - Just installed the 0640 firmware and it still doesn’t work, it’s also a bit hard to debug since the SSH connection is lost so you’re working in the dark.
