    UNRAID 6.10.0-RC1 Random crashes

    in Prereleases

    Posted

    I ended up switching out my supermicro board for an old Intel DQ77MK board and have had 9+ days of uptime.

     

    I'm not sure what the issue is with the supermicro board and any UNRAID versions past 6.8.3 but it just made it unstable.

     

    If I stayed on 6.8.3 everything ran perfectly but I didn't want to be stuck on that version.

    Will you list what Plugin's you are using and also if you are using a Marvel controller in your setup please?

     

     

    I have read that and it is good advice. I will probably retire it when I upgrade the Motherboard, CPU and RAM. Almost impossible to get a M/B with the same number of ports as the one I have so a good controller card will be a must.

     

    For this issue, I find it hard to believe that it is the card which is causing this issue. I base this on nothing other than observing that the spin up is happening across all drives and not just the 3 that are on the controller.

     

     

    That is a good nod. I will do that. Thanks.

     

    So - what do we collectively think? Worth posting as a bug?

     

    EDIT: I have just disabled the Turbo Write Plug-in and spun the array down. I am heading to work now. It will be interesting to see if the SMART read commands are issued during the day.

    I am not using a Marvel controller.

    I uninstalled my CA Auto Turbo Write Mode plugin and it didn't seem to help. 

     

    What's really strange is that today my drives have started spinning down again. The only change I made was to uninstall the CA Auto Turbo Write Mode plugin and then reinstalled it later.

    I am posting this here just for some direction on whether this is a known bug or not (i.e. if we know a rouge or non updated plugin could be causing this). If the former then I will raise a bug report and post diagnostics.

     

    In summary, in this release I am noticing that my array seems to be spun up more than usual. Anecdotal I know.

     

    Querying the log, it appears that disks are spinning up and spinning down all day long even when there is little to no usage.

     

    What I am seeing is the disks will spin down and then at regular intervals Ill get "unraid emhttpd: read SMART" on each disk which causes them to spin up. Then, as per my settings, the disks will spin down after a period of time "unraid emhttpd: spinning down". 

     

    Rinse and repeat every two hours. Has anyone else noticed this?

    This is exactly what I posted about a few days ago. Same thing happening for me!

    More information

    I've had good results with this release as compared to the 6.9.* releases which crashed my server quite a bit.

     

    Anyway, I have one issue and I'm not quite sure what's happening. 

     

    My drives try to spin down after the designated time frame but as soon as they spin down they spin right back up. These are SATA drives. 

     

    Here's an example in the logs: 

    Aug 30 08:51:02 Tower emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sdr
Aug 30 08:51:10 Tower emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sdp
Aug 30 08:51:12 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdp
Aug 30 08:51:12 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdr

     

    So as soon as they spin down it reads the SMART data and spins it back up. Is there anything I can do to help diagnose the issue? Could the CA Auto Turbo Write Mode plugin cause this behavior? It never was an issue in the past. 

     

    EDIT: I removed the CA Auto Turbo Write Mode plugin and the behavior persists so I don't think it is the problem.

    Time Machine unbelievably slow

    Unfortunately, this did not work. I already had an Ubuntu 19.10 desktop VM running so I added the packages needed for TimeMachine and it does not work.

     

    None of the Macs on my network can see the TimeMachine share on the network. It looks like the VM isn't able to advertise on the local network even with avahi running.

     

    If someone knows a workaround I'm willing to test this again.

    I have this exact issue. It's frustrating and was not an issue on 6.7.2 for me.

     

    I can get a backup to begin but after about 14 hours it will just fail. 

     

    I turned a very low powered Ubuntu box into a TimeMachine server yesterday and all of my machines have been backing up to it without issue. It's also much faster than with UNRAID 6.8.3.

     

    I kept reading that backing up over the network is glitchy but it was never an issue for me.

     

    I'm not sure what changed but it really sucks to not be able to backup straight to my UNRAID box anymore.
