I'm having a problem powering down my server since i updated to 5.0 beta10. When i hit the stop array button my browser just sits there saying waiting for Tower. It will just stay like this and not respond. If i refresh the page i cant get back into the main page menu. It then tells me cant find/connect to tower!  It seems to shut down but not completely. Then my only other option is to press the power button on the tower to shut it down. I then have to power the server back up and then i can see the power down button. Once i press that it does a clean power down.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Kernel crashes on shutdown are a know problem with that version. Please read the announcement thread.

Thanks for the reply. But could you be more specific. There is a lot of posts in the announcement thread! Has the problem been fixed in the 5.0 Beta 12a or one of the others?

 

Thanks.

Running a beta means that you have to read the announcements head for the beta in order to determine if it will work with your gear. Otherwise run version 4.7.

Thanks for the reply dgaschk. I was running 5.0 beta 2 before i upgraded to beta 11. I did back up all the 5.0 beta 2 files on my stick before i upgraded to beta 11. If i wanted to go back to beta 2 how do i do that? I had no power down problems with that version.

Sorry for the newbie questions but i don't want to screw up my server and all the files saved on it.

 

Thanks!

Just copy all the files back to the flash. Or reverse the upgrade instructions.
