Hello,
I'm having a serious issue with my unraid server. I would greatly appreciate if somebody could help me. Please read, as this is a unique issue that I have not seen anywhere else on the forums. I have searched and read almost every post on the forums and other places online with no solution.
My unraid server keeps disappearing from my network, which is happening every day now. I cannot connect to it via ssh, gui, local network, or by my direct 10gb connection. It's as if the eth ports are not working (although lights are blinking on them and my unifi dream machine.)
The server shows as offline in my dream machine as well.
I also cannot boot into safe mode or into the gui mode with a monitor attached, the output hangs if I try and it never comes online, cannot even reach the console. I have reset the network, and the server with no luck. When this happens, I essentially loose the whole server. Now here is where it gets stranger. I posted about this issue once a while back with no responses:
The solution I found in that post still 'works'. If I completely unplug the server from power, plug it back in, it boots and shows on my network just fine. I don't even need to replace the network config files. Just unplug. But unlike the first time, after the server is running for about 24 hours, it will disappear from my network again, and all the symptoms above come back. I need to shut down the server with the power button and pull the plug again, reboot and Ill have access again and it shows backup on my network like nothing is wrong.
I first had that issue 7 months ago, and the server has been running constantly since then with no issues. All of a sudden, this problem is happening every morning now. So my solution is obviously not ideal and this is making my server unusable.
I do not think this is related but I did make a few changes before this started happening.
One of my pool drives died, so I replaced that drive and I upgraded my parity drives, I rebuilt the parity, checked the parity and everything was fine. 24 hours later this problem started happening again. Luckly, I tried my 'solution' and got back my server, so I immediately upgrade to 6.12.4 (from 6.11) hoping that would work. This morning the issue happened again.
In my other post I mentioned what I originally changed that appears to have started this whole issue. (Setting up a 10gb connection between my computer and server following space invaders guide.)
attached is the diagnostics.
