I've been using unRAID since 3.6 and have built up 4 servers along the way - mostly using my old computers. I built my first 6.6.7 server last month as a replacement for two 5.x servers full of 2TB drives and running on Celerons with 2GB RAM (time to upgrade, huh?) The new 6.6.7 server is mostly 10TB drives running on a motherboard with 4 SATA ports (requiring two SATA HBAs to feed the full array) and not much else, so I'm going to move it to some better (still older) hardware. I'm using a trial license to test the new hardware and preclear a few disks. I do NOT have an array defined - just using the apps and Tools.
Here's the problem (well, two, actually): When I log out of the GUI console, unRAID appears to lock up -- the MBs HDMI video signal shuts down (instead of going back to the login-window) and the server disappears from the network (ping fails though the blinking light on the net connector port still shows something is active.) The disk activity light is still lit (likely from the preclear), but resuming preclear after a reboot indicates no further "clearing" activity was accomplished during the "lock up." If I bring up the server with the non-GUI console, logging off does not cause the problem - only when exiting the GUI. Reboot is the only way I've found to restore the connections.
Here's the specs on the hardware I'm testing with:
unRAID system: unRAID server Trial, version 6.6.7
Model: Custom
Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. - Z87-DELUXE
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz
HVM: Disabled
IOMMU: Disabled
Memory: 16 GB (max. installable capacity 32 GB)
Network: bond0: fault-tolerance (active-backup), mtu 1500
eth0: 1000Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 1500
eth1: not connected
Kernel: Linux 4.18.20-unRAID x86_64
OpenSSL: 1.1.1a
P + Q algorithm: 21085 MB/s + 32449 MB/s
Another slight problem which may be related: When I Power Down from the GUI console (using the GUI button), the unRAID server shuts down as expected, but the PC does not. In the MB BIOS, there are power settings for what to do when power is "restored", but nothing about powering down.
Does the lack of a defined array have anything to do with what I'm seeing?
While I'm not new to unRAID, I only ever used it store stuff and stream video, and have only recently begun using 6.6.7, so there may be some settings I'm missing - though, as I mentioned, my working 6.6.7 server doesn't have any of these problems. I'd sure like to track this lock-up-on-logout problem on the newer hardware before I move my array to it.
Thanks for any insight (or solutions) you can provide.
