I'm glad I could help, but still I wonder about your case.
You wrote: "Although the shutdown issue disappeared after reinstalling
the entire system my NAS would still occasionally boot and immediately
shutdown for no obvious reason. A second boot would bring the system up
as expected, but it was annoying nonetheless."
I have no explanation for this behavior. What do you mean saying
"immediatly shutdown"? Is this like a power off, or a clean reboot like
"init 6"? And I don't see what a reboot would change for the rtc chip
that I would expect only be able to wake up the machine but not shut it
down. Do you have a boot log? Can you reproduce the problem, e.g. by
setting the alarm:
echo +150 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0030/rtc/rtc*/wakealarm
and then wait 3 minutes.
If yes, goes the problem away after:
for i in +150 0 +150 0; do
echo $i > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0030/rtc/rtc*/wakealarm
done
instead of the i2cget command?
On a side note I also don't understand why reinstalling the NAS changes
anything. Does the installer access the rtc other than setting the time?
Best regards
Uwe
