DSM 5.2-5565 Update 1 issue: no disk sleeping or hibernation

Raw

The reason your diskstation may stop sleeping after this update is due to the 'winbindd' service continually touching a file which is hosted on disk. The continual touching of the file results in the disks being unable to sleep.

An issue which this update fixed is related to this service, so I suspect it was unintentionally introduced to fix a separate issue (specifically regarding RW access of Guest users).

To get your diskstation sleeping again, you simply have to stop the winbindd service from running. You can do this via the simple command "stop winbindd" via command line. Note that disabling that service will likely reintroduce the Guest RW issue which was fixed in this update.

Note that this service will automatically restart when your diskstation reboots. The permanent fix will need to come from Synology.

Hi
I have the same problem after the new update. I want to try your suggeston. however I noted that are many process winbindd running in my DS213j.
Shall I kill all processes ?

@psmh, the service will fire up multiple processes. Issuing a single "stop winbindd" command should stop all of them.

I also heard back from Synology. They confirmed the issue and indicated it will be fixed on the next release.

Hi, in the meantime I also received an email from them informing to "wait for next / 2nd update". however no deadline for that.
Question: stoping those process will not create problems with writting / reading functionality or has nothing to do with harddisk releability check. correct?

Hi, today I discover another bug in this software update. DLNA is not working anymore with other equipments (e.g. TV). If you have an Synology APP in your tablet it might work. Otherwise, with other equipments using DLNA... no chance.
Well it seems that they really screw-up with this update.

You also need to run that stop command logged on as the root user

Hi guys,
thanks that worked for me in Update 1.

I Just installed 5.2-5565 Update 2 that announces Fixed an issue where system cannot enter hibernation. Let's see if they did as promised 😄

Still after the latest update my synology doesn't hibernate. I have just contacted them today to ask for an explanation.
