Hello.
So I just got back home after a 6 months work stint and my unraid server has been having problems during the last 2-3 months. I am going to start toubleshooting but I don't really have many replacement parts, so I thought I will document it here and request support from the pros here.
I have been running this for close to a year without any issues.
Case: Node 804
Processor / Board / Ram: E3-1220 V2 / X9SCL / 2 x 8GB ECC
Drives: 2 x WD120EMFZ (parity) + 8 x 8TB WD Whitelabels
Unraid version: 6.8.3
Powersupply: Seasonic focus gold 750 Watt
HBA card: LSI SAS2008
Issue # 1.
The server restarts randomly. I have tried to disable all my dockers to remove any cpu stress but it doesn't help. I have also tried to leave the array in stopped mode, but it still crashes or restarts. Is it RAM, board? or may be even power supply? I am not sure where to start?
Issue # 2.
Unraid parity checks throw a lot of errors. Is it because of several crashes that has happened?
parity history
I am trying to get hold of the server logs and have enabled "Mirror syslog to flash". But I am not sure if upon a random restart, it will append the old syslog file or will start over-writing it? Any suggestions please?
Thanks very much for any help in advance.
After I reached home 2AM in the morning, the first thing I looked into was my unraid server. I thought I was using an old power supply that might be the culprit. But its not. And I am not really sure how to go about fixing it?
