  1. I should note the last time the system crashed was after I switched from macvlan. I initially did some research on 2+ day Unraid crashing and found a couple of posts where you had mentioned making that switch, and I am using VLANs for my dockers/vms/cameras so I made the change. I believe the last crash has been within the last 2 days, hopefully that helps with combing through the logs. I believe it was between 12-1AM on Feb 7th, I remember waking up to my house freezing because Home assistant hadn't recognized I was home and didn't make the adjustment to my thermostat, tried changing it in HA but the UI wouldn't load. I woke up that morning at 7am and told Unraid to start the array again. Again I appreciate your help with this so far. My only other guess is that my Home Assistant VM could be contributing, but I couldn't imagine a VM would have that much power over the entire kernel. HA has been pretty straightforward and isn't very problematic. I had to make some modifications to the actual image before I got it working, I downloaded the KVM file from them directly and imported it into the VM manager. Is this a common point of failure on a lot of Unraid installs? After going through some previous posts it seems a lot of people run into issues with the networking side of Unraid. I'm just worried I've overcomplicated a lot of this with a modded HBA and all of these VLANs.
  2. Gotcha, are you seeing anything suspicious after that date? I changed some of my logs to just show the last 2 days and haven't seen anything related to that since. Not sure if that was due to me moving the connection or what. Regardless I'll give disabling the LAG a shot and moving the primary port over to eth1. Will report back on what I find!
  3. Just out of curiosity where in the logs where you able to determine that? Right now I'm actually using all 4 NICs in a LAG to my switch. (the switch has been configured for it as well). I also had these exact issues when I used just one NIC, but I hadn't tried removing the LAG and trying another one of the 4. Is the driver acting up or does it appear to be hardware related?
  4. syslog has already been setup! Sorry I wrote this while tired last night. Before this last crash I setup syslog and mirrored it all to flash, so I have logs of it while crashing. However after skimming through them I couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary. Would you be interested in taking a look?
  5. To begin, I am an IT Technician with 10yrs of experience under my belt. Asking for help (in general) is very hard for me so admittedly I've been holding off on posting to these forums. After about a year of troubleshooting I'm truly out of ideas and can't think of where to go next. I have a Dell R710 running the last supported BIOS, Lifecycle controller, and iDRAC package. It is equipped with a PERC H200 flashed to IT/JBOD mode. Periodically the server crashes and I lose everything. There is no rhyme or reason as to why and the only indicator I get (when I'm able to catch it) is my VMs and Dockers begin to crash/slow down/act weird. For instance I am running Home Assistant in a VM converted from their official website and my ZWave plugin begins to lose connectivity with my ZWave network. I have read several posts regarding similar issues and found some people have luck changing their docker network interface from macvlan to ipvlan (which I have done), and running Memtest86 to verify ram functionality. I ran Memtest for about 13hrs and was unable to get it to fail. I have BTRFS, TRIM, and mover schedules set so those are all being taken care of. No SMART errors either. At this point I am at a loss and cannot for the life of me figure out how to mitigate these crashes. Any input or guidance would be appreciated. All I want is for this thing to work consistently and with the struggles of life and taking on a mortgage I'm running out of time and energy to fix this. Attached is my diagnostics, if someone could please go through them and give me some pointers I would truly appreciate it. I feel like I'm just an idiot and missed a setting somewhere. Thanks again in advance, I can provide more information if required! zserve-diagnostics-20230207-2144.zip
  6. Definitely need some help/advice here! I'm using a Dell R710 with the first 2 bays populated with SSDs as cache drives, the 2nd set of bays has 2 4TB SMR Seagate drives, and the other set of bays has been empty since I set it up. My current array still has about 800GB free so I haven't maxed anything out yet. I recently got a deal on a Western Digital CMR 4TB drive that I'd like to use as my parity drive. So that way I can have 8TB of storage with a single parity drive (with plans to add another parity in the future) The problem I'm running into is the Seagate drives were used as one data drive and the other was parity. Last night I was drinking and decided to add the WD drive, but went through the wrong setup and accidentally added it to the main array drive (so Seagate drive + Western Digital). I'd like to have the 2 Seagates as the main data drives and the WD as parity, but for the life of me unRAID will not let me remove the WD and swap it with the Seagate. No data has been written to the WD drive either, but I can spin the array up in this config and still see my shares/data with the additional 4TB of storage. I followed a couple of guides and was able to remove the parity drive fine, so now I'm stuck with just the main Seagate and unRAID pressuring me into using the WD alongside it...with no parity... How would I go about getting these drives swapped? Would this require running the New Config option? Just worried and being cautious here as I'd like to keep everything the same and just swap these two disks without losing data. Attaching screenshots in case I've over worded this! Any advice/help is definitely appreciated. First pic is currently where I'm at, 2nd pic is what I'd like to accomplish.
