  1. Crashed again today.

     

    on July 27, I followed the third option: "Keep docker containers in host or bridge mode which use the server IP address and ports as needed"

    I changed all dockers to host or bridge mode.

    Turned off "AdGuard" because it cannot run under host or bridge mode and disabled auto start.

    My unraid ran for a week and crashed again (same symptom, no response) last night.

    I attached the syslog. Please start from July 27, the day that I rebooted and made the change.

    Enable syslog mirror to flash then post that log after a crash, together with the complete diagnostics: Tools -> Diagnostics

    I did that when 2nd time happened. I have seen the syslog under /boot/logs/syslog once, which contained logs from Jul 12. 

     

    This time, before hard shut down, I pulled my data HDD out while they were spun own (I felt them, no spin vibration) in an attempt to prevent parity check again.

    I then hard shut down and put the HDD back in and boot it up again. 

    Now I got error saying that my flash drive is not read/write.

    I guess it might have a temporary lock up due to hard shut down or huge file copy from /var/log/syslog. 

    The UNRAID web UI and SMB service all seem to be working and I canceled parity check.

    I can see the file in /boot but log directory shows like this in ls -l command and not accessible. 

    d????????? ? ?    ?            ?            ? logs/

     

    The var/log/syslog is huge at 120-ish MB and I manually copied it to a share.

    I attached part of "syslog_0717_1014"(the rest are all the same error "FAT-fs (sda1): error, corrupted directory (invalid entries)") and diagnose zip of this time (10:16am)

    I looked into the var/log/syslog, they are all Jul 17 (today).

     

    I did normal shut down via webUI and unplugged the flash drive and attempt to read it off it. 

    There is logs folder, but nothing in it.

    Plug flash drive back it, UNRAID boots up fine, I attached another syslog at 10:44am and and diagnose zip of this time (10:59am). 

     

    I don't know if I could recover the syslog that contains Jul 12-Jul16. 

     

    How can I permanently cancel parity check due to hard shut down?

    I will do a full parity check after all the diagnose.

  3. Hi UNRAID community,

     

    Setup

    I don't have GPU passthrough. I have plex docker with standard intel iGPU hardware transcoding setting (like modprobe i915).

    Once array and plex docker is running, at least for a couple hours, there is video out for UNRAID command line and response to keyboard input.

     

    I have plugin a Mellanox MCX311a to UNRAID made it to be primary in bond and On board 1G to be secondary in active backup config.

    Current switch is Netgear MX510TX 10G/multigig switch (I returned Mikrotik CRS305)

    These have been stable and I got full speed to 2.5G with 0 Retr for most of the time.

    I have got 7-8Gbps and 9.2 Gbps between MCX311a <-> Netgear MX510TX <-> HP 533FLR 10Gbe

     

    Problem

    I had this happen to my UNRAID server recently.

    First time, UNRAID be come unreachable in early morning, no reply to ping, no video out, no response to key board.

    The power indicator was lit and fans were running.

    HDD busy indicator was NOT lit or blink at all.

    Have to do hard shut down and it booted fine and just need to do parity check.

     

    Second morning, same exact story, UNRAID is not responsive and not reachable in the morning.

    Hard shut down.

    I did 4 pass of full memtest with my memtest DOS flash drive, no error. Somehow, memtest in the UNRAID boot menu doesn't work and it will just reboot.

    After memtest, it booted fine and parity check.

     

    Third morning, UNRAID is not reachable.

    The power indicator was lit and fans were running.

    HDD busy indicator blinked occasionally. 

     

    ping response is very wired. Notice the third time is 3.7s. 

    Pinging 192.168.x.x with 32 bytes of data:
    Reply from 192.168.x.x: bytes=32 time=14ms TTL=64
    Request timed out.
    Reply from 192.168.x.x: bytes=32 time=3704ms TTL=64
    Reply from 192.168.x.x: bytes=32 time=62ms TTL=64

    If I unplug SPF+ cable, and have 1G NIC plugged to switch or router directly,  ping reply: Destination host unreachable.

    This time, the monitor has video out but not responsive, and also not responsive to keyboard input.

    Last night keyboard was working and RGB lighting is on.

    This morning, keyboard numlock doesn't lit on when numlock is pressed, also RGB lighting doesn't work.

    Unplugged and plugged to different USB port, no response, no lights.

     

    At this point how can I diagnose?

    Do I have to hard shut down and do another parity check?

    How do i run a plotter only?
    I have farmer and harvester elsewhere, but need more plotters.

    That I don't know. My unraid is under-powered old 4-core i5, not that useful for plotting. 

     

    I ran Mint20 (Ubuntu) and windows as plotter. That way I can use swar plot manager (or plotman).

    Thank you, this did it for me.

     

    An observation i made, the chia version this docker is running is not 1.1.6. it is running a dev version 1.1.7.dev0 which should not be used for production.

    This could be why it broke my previous settings.

    I didn't recall that I updated the docker today (but maybe UNRAID auto updated it).

    Mine is also "up to date" version 1.1.7.dev0

    i Get the same error... and then the docker stops.. what changed in this last update?

    have been running this chia docker as harvester only for many days... 

     

    Took me an hour and got it working.

    I would suggest to put it in the docker template. 

     

    Looking at here https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-docker/blob/main/entrypoint.sh

    Quote

    line 40

    echo "A farmer peer address, port, and ca path are required."

    The docker needs a variable called ca

    So I added a variable for the docker (called Key below) called ca 

    to add: press "Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device"

    Config Type:Variable
    Name:ca
    Key:ca
    Value:/config/ssl/ca/

    Make sure you also put these in (which should not be needed according to config.yaml in the original post "Farming on many machines"

    farmer_address: YOUR.FARMER.IP
    farmer_port: 8447

     

     

     

  7. Hello, Thank you for this awesome docker template.
     

    I got the harvester only working for a day and it was connecting to the main full node ok (can see passing filter).

    My initial setting was:

    harvester only = true

    farmer_address: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

    farmer_port: 8447

    I had to put farmer address in here, otherwise docker will fail to start, which should not be necessary.

    I believe the value here changes the "full node -> farmer_peer" section, which is not needed according to 

    https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/wiki/Farming-on-many-machines

    Anyway, the initial setting worked. 

     

     

    Then, all of a sudden, the docker might have restarted due to a parity disk problem (no change to docker settings).

    appdata is on cache disk, which should not be affected. 

     

    How the docker log says: farmer address required. no matter whether I put farmer address and port here, it complaints about not having farmer address.

  8. UPDATE: borrowed some hardware so I can do more isolated test.

     

    First I took UNRAID out of equation. 

     

    PC2: I borrowed a buddy's i5-7500 and B150M motherboard. 10G NIC is plugged in slot 1 x16. 

     

    PC1: (ASUS B550 Intel I225V 2.5G), TX/RX buffer = 1024, flow control enabled. 

     

    Server2: OMV, RTL8125 2.5G NIC, just uses putty to SSH. Treat it as just a Linux. Adapter settings: see detail at the end

     

    All default, MTU 1500. 

     

    iperf3

    • host Server2 (RTL8125) to client PC1 (Intel I225V) 
      • 283 MBytes/sec, no Retr displayed in output (maybe issue with windows version of iperf3?)
    • host Server2 (RTL8125) to client PC2 (10G NIC) 
      • 259 MBytes/sec, total Retr = ~60000
    • host PC1 (I225V) to client PC2 (10G NIC)
      • 166 MBytes/sec (interesting...), total Retr = ~30000
      • This was "host PC, client UNRAID (10G), 30MB/s". My guess there was multiple factors led to this. 
    • host PC1 (I225V) to client Server2 (RTL8125)
      • 221 MBytes/sec, total Retr = 28
    • host PC2 (10G NIC) to client PC1 (I225V)
      • 283 MBytes/sec, no Retr displayed in output
    • host PC2 (10G NIC) to client Server2 (RTL8125)
      • 229 MBytes/sec, Retr = 0

     

    So it looks like I215V has some problem (there are quite a bit report on Rev1 and 2 of I225, dropping packets).

    Mine is Rev3, which is "supposed" to be free of previous issue. 

    But seems to be ok from 2.5G Intel I215V to RTL8125.

     

    I am seeking diagnose directions.

    Thanks!

    No reason you will got 2.5G speed if all switch not support 2.5G.

     

    For 10G ( or 1G ) pls, NIC offload (on), NIC flowcontrol (off) and all client/switch use same MTU.

    "from PC-2.5G NIC to another server with 2.5G NIC" this was tested on 10G switch with two RJ45-SFP+ adapter. The adapter has auto negotiation and can work at 1/2.5/5/10G.

    Also PC and server have default 1500MTU, no jumbo frame. 

  10. Router: EdgeRouter X

    Switch 1 (10G): MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN,

    Switch 2: NetGear GS305

     

    PC - Switch1: 2.5G RJ45 - SFP+ adapter, CAT6 cable

    UNRAID - Switch 1: 10G Tek DAC cable

    I currently don't have extra DAC cable to try

     

    PC

    MB: ASUS B550i 

    On Board NIC: Intel I225-V

     

    UNRAID

    Recently migrated from a old DELL Optiplex 3010 (with default NIC offloading and flow setting, i.e. ON).

    It has no problem to reach sustained 110MB/s.

     

    MB: HP Z240 (C236 chipset)

    Bond0 (fail-over)

    eth0 - 10G NIC: Mellanox MCX-311A

    eth1 - On board NIC: Intel I219-LM

     

    Symptoms: (using Switch 1)

    iperf3 -c IP-address -f M

    UNRAID side test file is on NVME SSD cache only.

    PC side test file is on SATA SSD.

     

    iperf3 speed for 10G MCX-311A NIC

    • host PC, client UNRAID, 30MB/s (~240Mbps)
    • host PC, client UNRAID, 220MB/s

    File copy

    • UNRAID to PC 30MB/s
    • PC to UNRAID 280MB/s

     

    iperf3 speed for for onboard Intel I219-LM NIC

    iperf3 speed at 80MB/s (~640Mbps)

    File copy

    • UNRAID to PC 106MB/s, almost steady.
    • PC to UNRAID 100MB/s, with momentary speed drop during copy

     

    What I have tried:

    1. [2.5G NIC seems good, Switch 1 and adaptor works] iperf3 from PC-2.5G NIC to another server with 2.5G NIC, achieved 230MB/s, almost full speed. File transfer speed are similar to iperf.
    2. [No improvement] Swap DAC cable in different ports in Switch 1
    3. [No improvement] Unplug 10G DAC cable (using eth1, 1G), Swap different CAT6 cable in different ports in Switch 1, still 80MB/s, Windows to SMB file transfer speed is also around 40-80MB/s. Later NIC offloading fixed some of this issue. 
    4. [No improvement] change eth0 to onboard 1G Intel I219-LM, unplug 10G DAC cable
    5. [Some improvement] NIC offloading OFF, NIC flow OFF, also typed in "ethtool -K eth0 tso off" "ethtool -K eth0 gso off" for both eth0 and eth1. iperf3 onboard 1G Intel I219-LM, 112MB/s, seems normal, expect for the first data point ~40MB/s in the "host UNRAID, client PC" test (this behavior has been consistent). But PC to UNRAID file transfer speed (with single 100GB file) starts at 110MB/s and drops to 40MB/s in the half way through and come back up to 110MB/s in a minute, and later drops again and come back. 
    6. [No improvement] (with NIC offloading OFF, NIC flow OFF, buffer size 256 for TX and RX) change eth0 back to 10G NIC, still 30MB/s (UNRAID to PC)
    7. [No change] test with another PC with its onboard intel 1G NIC, still 30MB/s for 10G NIC. 
    8. [No change] test all 1G test with Switch 2.

  11. I think reply there will get people who has the experience with nxfilter docker share their thoughts

    steps that I took:

     

    0. Stop AdGuard, stopped docker and restart the docker without AdGuard auto start.

    1. in console,

    Quote

    docker pull packetworks/nxfilter-base

    2. create a container (see screenshot)

    I set port 53 to UDP. All other ports are TCP. 

    according to this instruction.

    https://hub.docker.com/r/packetworks/nxfilter-base

    NxFilter_Q1.thumb.JPG.24acdb322de19ab319f90bbc6ffdea59.JPG

     

    3. the container creation was successful but, there is no IP mapping.

    Quote

    docker run -d --name='NxFilter' --net='br0' --ip='192.168.1.6' --privileged=true -e TZ="America/####" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -v '/mnt/user/appdata/nxfilter/log/':'/nxfilter/log':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/nxfilter/db/':'/nxfilter/db':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/nxfilter/conf/':'/nxfilter/conf':'rw' 'packetworks/nxfilter-base' 

    NxFilter_Q2.thumb.JPG.b3dcb28bc4476c43028fd724ddbc2fd0.JPG

    no IP and port mapping.

     

    AdGuard shows the correct port mapping

    NxFilter_Q3.thumb.JPG.888347d99698460ef82354fe3cb08177.JPG

     

    I have only one physical ethernet port on motherboard.

    I previously get AdGuard (from Unraid APP) working properly by setting fixed IP to 192.168.1.5. 

     

     

     

     

     

  12. Hi,

     

    I read a few post about fan control and Dynamix Auto Fan Control.

     

    Is there any way to control 3pin fan speed?

     

    My DELL MB only has two headers for 3pin system fan (BIOS only have option to run full speed or controlled by BIOS).

    The CPU fan is 4pin PWM.

    The rear 3pin system fan is running at (appear to be) voltage control mode.

    The other 3pin system (facing HDDs) is not running at all after briefly running during BIOS POST. 

     

    Thanks!

  13. I read the Parity Swap Procedure carefully.

    Just want to double check. 

     

    Assume I have Data Drive A, Old Parity B, New Parity C.

    After the Parity Swap Procedure - Step 14 , let's say for some reason (maybe B will be re-purposed in other places) I want to remove B.

    So before step 15, I will unassign B and start the array, right?

     

    PS:

    The real reason that I take this way (instead of just replace B with C, let C rebuild off A) is:  my Data Drive A is the oldest. So I think by copying parity from B to C would have virtually zero stress on A. Otherwise if C rebuild from A, and A died in the process, then things will be very sticky?

    Also in this way, I can familiar myself with the parity swap procedure. 

     

    Suggestions and comments are welcomed.

    Thanks!

    I've seen these leftover system share folders/files on the array even when the user is supposedly following my step-by-step instructions which included disabling the services. It looked to me at least in some cases that they were not moved precisely because they were duplicates, since the user would have system share on both cache and array before we started to make any corrections.

     

    Don't know how they came to be created as duplicates though. No doubt they were created on the array since cache wasn't installed at the time the services were first enabled, but I don't know how they came to have new ones created on cache later.

     

    And I have seen it where just the folder is all that still exists on the array, and there are no files in it. Or it may be that it is usually the case that only the folder still exists. We have always just finished the cleanup manually.

     

    I do believe that I had docker and vm turned off in settings (so no docker and VM on menu bar) .

    Because I was just setting up and hadn't enable anything yet.

    I didn't install the SSD at the very beginning because I am moving data off my SSD.

     

    NOW: 

    I have backuped my dockers and VMs using CA backup V2 just now. So I am safe to experiment. 

    I turn off docker and vm in settings.

    Check again, the files on Array Disk are [correction  5/5/2020 12pm] still there.

    Use stat command to change their dates and they are not modified since 4/29. SO it is safe to say the active docker and vms are on SSD cache.

     

    At that time: 

    It could be that the mover issued "delete" to Array Disk and somehow had significant delays in my cases. 

    Maybe the delay is caused by parity build?

    Then a few hours later, while those file is still on Array Disk, I finally started to use Dockers. So they stuck here.

    Delete them from disk1.

    Also, the link you gave for CA Backup above was for the deprecated version (as it says in the title). You should use CA Backup V2.

    You can install CA Backup V2 from the Apps page. You should always go from the Apps page to install anything so you only get current and compatible addons.

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    I am new to unraid, 10 days into trail version now. 

     

    I did install CA backup v2 from App Store.

    The version is:

  16. Hello,

    Could some one reply my concern?

     

    Currently, the latest files of dockers and VMs are indeed stored on Cache Drive. 

    BUT "/mnt/disk1/system/docker" and "/mnt/disk1/system/libvirt" are still on disk1.

     

    Previously,

    • stopped dockers and VMs,
    • set share folders as cache drive "preferred" 
    • and clicked "move".

    Before invoking mover, Docker and VM are off for sure and they stays off during the process. 

    After invoking mover, they are present on both cache and data drives.

     

    Question:

    1. Can I delete "/mnt/disk1/system/docker" and "/mnt/disk1/system/libvirt" manually?
    2. If they are not deleted, will they overwrite the files on Cache Drive when mover is invoked? (share -> cache drive preferred, see previous screenshot). "Preferred" moves file from array to cache drive thus over write files on cache drive?

    Are you sure that the files are moved to the cache drive?   If so they should no longer be present on disk1.   Mover cannot move open files so you need to have stopped the docker and VM services before invoking mover as they will be holding files open.

    During that time, the parity disk is building.

    (because those docker/vm files have been present on the disk1 since the very beginning when I first configured and started the array).

     

    Before invoking mover, Docker and VM are off for sure and they stays off as for now. 

    After mover, they are present on both cache and data drives.

  18. Hi,

     

    I wish to use cache drive for cache, docker and vm.

    Initially I didn't have cache drive enabled, so the vm and docker ended up on the array.

     

    stopped them all,

    make sure those share folders were set as cache drive "preferred" 

    and clicked "move".

     

    Question: 

    1. BTW, can I delete "/mnt/disk1/system/docker" and "/mnt/disk1/system/libvirt" since they are already moved to cache drive?
    2. Did I set those share and CA backup plugin correctly?

     

    Also installed backup plugin.

    I created "/mnt/user/backup" folder and subfolders using mkdir in terminal.

    My settings are like the following screenshot.

    PS: I read these two FAQs and come up with the following setting.

     

    Thanks!

    Dual parity makes more sense after your drive count has increased to quite a bit more than just 2 data drives. 

    Sure. I guess offsite or cold backup could be more important than dual parity. 

    Other suggestions?
