Originally it was crashing with Docker running. I had one VM but it was barely anything and a new addition to the stack.
This has been ongoing for quite some time, i ensured the array started automatically and just let it restart & do its thing...
However, the crashes seemed to be more frequent lately, to the point where it was becoming a blocker to me doing my stuff. That's when i decided to make this thread and get real serious about trying to diagnose this issue.
So after doing the checks mentioned before:
1 ) RAM memtest for 36 hours
2) PSU test
3) SMART Reporting for all drives
You then said it may be a CPU/MoBo problem, but the system just halting and restarting more often than not is a hardware issue.
So, I went on eBay and spent a couple hundred on those new bits. However, the issue persists.
That's now why i run the series of tests:
- Running both [Safe Mode] & [GUI w/o Array] didn't cause any crashes.
- It seems turning on the array is causing crashes...and the crashes happen more frequently if i run all my docker containers.
My gut it telling me to say two things:
1) The array, once started, cannot be stopped - it always says "retry unmounting disk shares"
2) Maybe there is a driver / storage issue somewhere (given crashes happen with the array turned on)
However, nothing shows in the Persistent Syslog.
