That did it - thank you so much!

In future, would it be wise to disable the three relevant packages on the QNAP before powering down, or would that make no difference?

I'm please to hear this has solved the problem.

It shouldn't be necessary to disable these packages before powering down.

I don't know what has caused the problem, so I can't suggest any way to prevent it. At least you have a solution to use if it happens again.

The TS-109/209/409 are very old and slow their firmware doesn't support the current version of Java. The NPTL package is an attempt to work around the problems caused by the old firmware but the result isn't very satisfactory. It is likely that I will drop support for these models in the next major release of MinimServer.

Thanks again. Yes, I appreciate that my TS-109 is a very old model and I completely understand that it's unrealistic for you to continue supporting it forever; nonetheless I'm naturally disappointed to learn this. I'm hugely grateful for the efforts you've made over the years to keep MS running on this ancient hardware! And the advance notice that you may not continue much longer is a spur to me to think seriously about upgrading.
