Rock64 v2 as Openmediavault server - buffers / shutdown problems

[helpmerock]

For Rock64 Ver2 (1GB ram), I installed OMV using Guide: Installing OMV5 on Raspberry PI's, Armbian SBC's, & i386 32-bit platforms: Link: https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.p...platforms/

Thanks to the guide, it's easy to install & starts working.

However, I can not shutdown. With either webpage shutdown command OR SSH shutdown command or connecting keyboard & monitor and on consol, in all three cases - it restarts instead of shutdown. 

 2nd try:
I install the same thing again on another SD card but the same problem - can not shutdown - always reboots.

Transfer speed from Windows 10 to OVM is about 90 to 95MB/s in write & 65 to 70 MB/s (USB3 external HDD)

Sharing video files from OMV to Kodi & vlc on firestick 4k, NO buffers. works great.

Now,

I tried from OMV: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/releases/ - It works & shutdown too.

Transfer speed from Windows 10 to OVM is about 95 to 105MB/s in write & 75 to 90 MB/s (higher than previous installs)

BUT, while sharing video files from OMV to Kodi & vlc on firestick 4k, buffers a lot & it's unwatchable.

How I can achieve the best of both worlds?

I had the same trouble with my Rock64 using Armbian_20.08.1_Rock64_buster_current_5.8.6.img.xz .
The shutdown worked fine.
Once I installed OMV5 with:
     sudo wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin...er/install | sudo bash
the shutdown still worked fine.
It all went downhill when I installed the lastest kernel (5.9.14).
Shutdown keeps restarting.
I backed out to the previous kernel (5.9.11) and the shutdown seemed to work again.

I started over, this time starting with the newer Armbian_20.11.3_Rock64_buster_current_5.9.14.img.xz .
Then installed OMV5 using the same process as above.
Now, everything is working perfect.
Shuts down without restarting.

Thanks, Dano for your reply,

I'm not sure which kernel I used to install Armbian as I deleted the original files but I remember that I downloaded 2nd time on Dec. 22, 2020. Is this 5.9.14 updated afterward?

Also, I checked in system information & it is 5.9.14.

I don't want to install again & do all configurations.
