Thanks Added the new Variables and will test it out!

Thanks. Okay so don’t mess with the /var/lib/docker stuff - i hear it. I took a look at the docker variable for the path, but couldn’t really figure it out, so will leave that alone. Will keep a track on any changes to this docker to see if there is a permanent solution, else i will just keep on checking the file and editing it manually for now. :)

Okay, so I have a question about automatically updating a file that is in a docker, but I think it's more a generic question, not something specific to this docker. And I'm wondering if this approach below works (not sure about the path!) or, should I be doing something else altogether, as it's a docker?! Basically, with the docker binhex-get-iplayer, it has a script which downloads/moves files, but I need it to do this for m4a files, along with the default mp4, so I tweaked a docker script start.sh: from if [[ -n $(find /data/get_iplayer/incomplete/ -name '*.mp4') ]]; then to if [[ -n $(find /data/get_iplayer/incomplete/ -name '*.m??') ]]; then Then, assuming this file will get overwritten when the docker updates, I was thinking I could just cron a script to check the contents of this start.sh file, and 'sed' the line to replace the mp4 string each time. But ... the file on the Unraid filesystem is in a "weird" folder, which I'm unsure if it will change or not? I found it here (along with a bunch of other dockers with similar 'long random string directory name': /var/lib/docker/btrfs/subvolumes/39b661b458331e319abf6b115bf8557821a8429853db56309846bbb6bb976ede/home/nobody/start.sh And, also wondering if there is a better way to make custom modifications to a docker, etc.?? thanks

Radio shows Many thanks for the docker, just what I was after. I want to use it mainly for radio shows, so I found I needed to make the following changes to get it to work. I assume I may need to redo these when the container is updated ?? (unless the image can include radio shows by default also? for a drink!). Added the following line to search for shows to file: binhex-get-iplayer/options: type radio,tv Modified this line (in /home/nobody/start.sh) to move the *.m4a files from incomplete to complete folder: if [[ -n $(find /data/get_iplayer/incomplete/ -name '*.mp4' -o -name '*.m4a') ]]; then Update - now modified the start.sh line to: if [[ -n $(find /data/get_iplayer/incomplete/ -name '*.m??') ]]; then Next, trying to figure out: 1. How to automate modifying the line in start.sh (in case a docker update wipes it out) - and even if there is a better way to do it. 2. using mv/rsync/mc (and User Scripts) to schedule moving files from /completed to another share folder. thanks!

Freeze happened again after a day or so. Will try the bios change, and looking again at dockers (not really sure if this is related or not though).

Good point. Think I only stopped / restarted the docker service. I will reboot now to be sure 👍

Yes, I switched to ipvlan yesterday - Fix Common Problems picked this up as a problem, so i changed the setting. I’ll see if it runs okay for the next week or so, and then start switching on the other dockers I’ve now stopped currently. THanks for looking :)

Sure, Thanks - log file attached. syslog-unraid.log

Thanks - I already did this and posted the last log entry from the time of the hang in my OP. Is there something else to get ??

Hello, had a problem start within the last month where my server keeps hanging, and the only way to recover is to hard power it off, and then back on again. Prior to this, it had no major re-occurring issues for ~2 years. Server OS is: 6.12.6 (was running a previous 6.11 version I think, when the issue started but upgraded OS to the latest version). Updated BIOS firmware, etc. I've now disabled dockers that I've installed within the last few months, and running only dockers that have been running for the last year or more without issue. And, powered off all VMs. Symptom is that typically I can't access my 'usual' apps like jellyfin. Then I'll go to the server, switch on the connected monitor, and nothing will show up on screen. So, press the power button for ~5 secs to turn the server off. Then power on again and we're good to go. Then usually have to repeat this every few days. I've now enabled remote syslog (to the unraid server), and this is the last entry (issue happened on Dec 22 it seems, and I powered it off/on on Jan 3 - I was away during this time) : Dec 22 00:00:01 unraid Plugin Auto Update: Checking for available plugin updates Dec 22 00:00:01 unraid Docker Auto Update: Community Applications Docker Autoupdate running Dec 22 00:00:01 unraid Docker Auto Update: Checking for available updates Dec 22 00:00:05 unraid Plugin Auto Update: fix.common.problems.plg version 2023.12.21 does not meet age requirements to update - 1 days old Dec 22 00:00:05 unraid Plugin Auto Update: Checking for language updates Dec 22 00:00:05 unraid Plugin Auto Update: Community Applications Plugin Auto Update finished Dec 22 00:00:36 unraid Docker Auto Update: Installing Updates for postgresql15 Dec 22 00:00:42 unraid Docker Auto Update: Community Applications Docker Autoupdate finished Jan 3 23:02:42 unraid root: Delaying execution of fix common problems scan for 10 minutes I have just run the Fix Common Problems scan and it did come up with a warning about using macvlan, so I've now changed that to ipvlan. Will see if this changes anything. Apart from this, is there anything else to check / test ? Thanks

Yes. I did this but it would not run. I’ve got the log somewhere but it just had a couple of lines in. Nothing useful I think

2 have been accepted and RMAd successfully. The third is on its way back now. With this one, I got an alert: Disk 1 in error state (disk dsbl) Looked at the log and got a bunch or read & write errors like: Dec 9 18:27:40 unraid kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sde, sector 6458159280 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 12 prio class 0 Dec 9 18:27:40 unraid kernel: md: disk1 read error, sector=6458159216 Powered off / checked connections / powered on Checked in the GUI, Disk 1 was now showing "Not installed" So, RMAd and will see if the vendor accepts it okay 🤞

My Unraid Server has been running for 18 months now, and it's built with a 3-disk array (1x parity, 2x data). Within this time, 3 disks have failed: - the parity disk - a data disk - a replacement data disk that replaced the first failed disk Only 1 disk in the array is an original one. Is this typical? Am I just unlucky. Or is something with the running, or the environment that could be impacting disk lifespan?

All good. Took the faulty disk out and shipped it to Scan who swapped it out no worries. Server & data were fine whilst disk was ‘missing’. Precleaned new disk, all good Added to array, in the same slot as the original disk - array rebuilt. Good to go Props again to Scan (in the UK) - great support as usual!

Thanks, but I guess I haven’t made myself clear in previous comments Swap the bad disk for a new disk = 1 week timeline between pulling out the bad disk and physically having the new disk available to install. Sure, I could keep the server shutdown for a week or so, but I would prefer to have it running and just wanted to check this was possible, without causing further issues. It looks like it is, with the caveat of no redundancy during the time the disk is ‘missing’.
