  1. The issue looks to have resurfaced. I have ordered 2 new NIC cards and a new Netgear 24 port switch to replace my older TP-LINK one. Should be able to set this up by Wed/Thu and find out more.
  2. Just an update. Switching the NIC's or disabling bonding didn't work. The one thing that has helped so far is actually scheduling a cron to do a 'ping -c1 yahoo.com' every 2 minutes. I am also writing the results of this to a local file to monitor the success/failure on this. So far, I have gone close to 40 minutes without an issue on the machine.
  3. Ah gotcha. Did not know that. I have already disabled bonding and seeing the same error on current NIC. Will switch to the other soon and test.
  4. I have already swapped the cables a few times with new ones as well as the switch port that this server uses. I have also tried disabling bonding but I just tested with one port so will try to disable it and try the secondary port this time. Not sure what you mean by "then next swap NIC-1,2 be eth-0,1 and check again." Did you just mean disabling bonding and trying both NIC's one at a time?
  5. I am on a Unraid Pro license and currently on Unraid 6.10.1. The machine is a Dell T340 server. The issue started about a week and a half back when I was on RC-8 or RC-10. I can ssh to server from my home network and ping to yahoo.com just fails/timeouts. A few minutes later, it will start working again. Seems to be happening every few minutes. At the same time my other machines: mac mini, windows desktop, macbook pro, are not seeing this issue. I also have another Unraid Pro license which is run on an older HP-Z800 running Unraid 6.9.2. That seems to not be experiencing such problems at this time. I have tried multiple things at this time including switching network cables, trying different switch ports, changing the ethernet connection in unraid from bonded (active-backup) to unbonded but nothing has helped. Additionally, I have made multiple restarts, changed DNS servers, ran the extended Fix Common problems as well with no difference. I have attached the diagnostics logs here and am really hoping someone can help since my server is close to unusable at this time. Help will be greatly appreciated. I would be very happy to provide any additional info. Edit: I also want to add that the docker updates tab, plugins tab all show unavailable quite often due to this reason. Also, the apps page can also timeout or just take way too long to load. tower-diagnostics-20220522-1229.zip
  6. Hey @Squid after upgrading to 6.10.0-rc8 I am seeing similar issues to @Crovaxon with the Action Centre showing a warning sign but clicking on it simply takes back to the main Apps page. Also, the Apps page is all of a sudden taking abnormally long to load. I can provide you with the /tmp/blah file as well if you would like. Thanks.
  7. Makes sense. Thanks. I have attached the diagnostics logs as well above.
  8. The SSH or GUI is inaccessible when this happens so I am unable to run diagnostics. That was the reason I enabled a remote syslog server. I can attach the current diagnostics dump/zip file but not sure if that really helps. Thanks. tower-diagnostics-20211107-1315.zip
  9. I have had unraid for close to a month now. It ran fine initially but in the last 2 weeks I have had 3 issues where I loose connectivity. Cannot ssh or login to the gui. After this happened the first time, I set up a remote syslog server that unraid was sending logs to. The last outage I had was yesterday night (today morning), a little after midnight. Based on when the syslog server stopped receiving logs, it appears that the issue occurred at around 2021-11-07,00:26:24. I have attached the log file here as well. I restarted the server late this morning and the logs continue on from 2021-11-07,11:08:31. syslog-unraid.csv If someone could take a look at this, I would greatly appreciate. I am seeing messages about nvidia driver, php-fpm but am unsure what is causing the actual issue.
  10. What would be the point of having multiple SSD's in 1 cache pool? How would this work if they are different sizes? I have a cache pool with 2 x SSD's. 1 x TB + 1 x 500 GB. Unraid shows the cache pool size as 1 TB. Could someone be kind enough to explain what (if any) advantage of such a setup would be? Or point me to documentation which gives information on how multiple drives in 1 cache pool get configured? Thanks.
  11. Ahh. Did not even realize that. Crap. Oh well .. atleast that makes my decision easier .. ha ha. If I could bother folks with another question. I have a cache pool set with 2 SSD's: 1 TB and 500 TB. The size shows up as only 1 TB and space is being used by the 1 TB drive only. Is it common to setup cache pools with only 1 drive? I am not sure the ideal/suggested way of setting up the cache pool. Thanks.
  12. I am changing hardware for my unraid machine and the target machine (Dell PowerEdge T340) has 2 available slots: 1 PCIE 3.0 x4 1 PCIE 3.0 x8 I am looking to move over the NVME drive that is currently being used and also the Geforce P400 card (for Plex). What would be the best/optimal way to use the slots for the drive and GPU? Thanks.
  13. I am looking to build/buy a PC that allows me to accomplish two things: NAS with atleast 4 x 12 TB drives. CPU + Memory to let me run 4-6 VM's. I will want atleast 2 TB of SSD storage for this. Split it across 2-4 drives. My original plan was to look at the Synology DS1621XS+ but am wondering if that will be a good fit for the virtualization. Both the memory and CPU it offers is rather limited. My budget is NOT set in stone but I would prefer to keep it under $4000 if possible. I have no plan to use the PC for gaming as I have a Digital Storm PC that already achieves that for me. However, it would be ideal if I can run a Windows VM on it to run some apps remotely. I am not sure if Unraid will fit my use case or not. Advice/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
