I have Lede 17.01.4 on my TP-LINK TD-W8970 and I'm very happy with it.
However, I've discovered that both the commands:
/sbin/poweroff
and
/sbin/halt
both have the effect of rebooting the device instead of halting.
Anyone noticed this issue?
Sadly I'm sseing the same behaviour (reboot & poweroff both reboot the device). Always used poweroff before unplugging my OpenWrt/LEDE devices...not sure how to handle that now!?
LEDE 17.01.4, Archer C7, halt and poweroff both stop the system at least to the point where the "star" light goes out and network is down. Hard to tell more than that as I don't have a serial console available.
